Conversation Out of Context

I was sitting at Wahoo's Fish Tacos the other day, eating some lunch, and two things occurred at the same time: a couple, sitting at a table just a few feet in front of me, started discussing fly fishing, and the Devo song Whip It! came on the stereo.

He wasn't aware of it, but the guy kept making these casting motions in perfect synchronization with the lyrics: "I say WHIP IT! Into shape! Shape it up! Get it straight!"

Oh, Relax

On my way back from NYC last weekend, I brought back a cherry pie in my carry-on bag for the friend who was picking me up from the airport. I held it in my hand on my way through security so that it wouldn't be crushed in my bag.

The guy at security pointed at it and said, "No gels or liquids allowed on the plane."

I held it out to him and said, "This is neither. This is a fruit pie."

He kind of laughed at himself and said, "Get in there."
