Yup. I Could Tell from That Nau­se­at­ed Look on Your Face.

Woman #1 in el­e­va­tor: Why aren’t you wear­ing a jack­et? You’re go­ing to be freez­ing!
Woman #2: I don’t need one. It’s be­cause I’m fat.
Woman #1: (si­lence)
Woman #2: You know it’s true. You’re not say­ing any­thing be­cause you know I’m fat. Most peo­ple would say, “No, no, no. You’re not fat!” but you’re not say­ing that be­cause you think I’m fat. Think about it.
Woman #1: I’m think­ing about it.

It’s Like the En­tire State Gets Spon­ta­neous Parkin­son’s

Girl #1: So how do you like New York?
Guy: I love it. I mean, I love com­ing here, but I could­n’t live here.
Girl #2: Why not?
Guy: I’m not a snow per­son. Snow should be vis­it­ed, not lived in. Me and bliz­zards just would­n’t get along.
Girl #1: We’re from South Car­oli­na. We love it here. We don’t mind
the snow. It’s bet­ter than the storms and hur­ri­canes.
Girl #2: Yeah, I hate the hur­ri­canes.
Guy: Well, where I live we don’t have bliz­zards or hur­ri­canes.
Girl #1: But you have earth­quakes. That’s worse.
Guy: Maybe, but we don’t have earth­quake sea­son.
