I'm watching Xtreme 4x4 on Prime, Ian plops a Suzuki Samurai divorced transfer case down on the work bench, and starts describing it.
SWMBO is walking by, and says, "so did he cheat, or was he just hard to get along with?"

"I mean it's $200 a bottle. To not call that the good stuff is a level of snobbery I'm not even remotely comfortable with."
"This thing handles like a wet rhinoceros on a clay embankment" My father after any road test of a ponderous car.
"Berking Michigan. Back home people just stay in their trailers and do meth...like they should!"
"Oh jeez! There's two of them now?"

Hert: If you have a parachute but your car isn't fast enough to need one, is that the equivalent of American rice?
Suppy: What is the American equivalent of rice?
Hert:.....Hot dogs?

Rich neighbor (Harley & Porsche parked on his driveway to save space in the garage for the good stuff) asks me if I want to be back-up for a weekly Texas Holdem game he hosts at his house. I said "maybe, how much is the buy-in" and he said "nothing......unless you think $100 is something". I do think $100 is something...I have a great many $100's (being specific would be rude) but I have them in large part because I do think $100 is something.
I don't think his comment was intended to advertise how much money he has or to intimidate me into sharing his world view...I doubt he gives a E36 M3 what I or anybody else thinks, it was just him doing him which is fine, he's a cool guy. But his comment did reveal a stark contrast...I have a super low tolerance for waste (food, energy, money, etc.). If I were worth 10X more money than I had any use for, I'd still consider $100 to be something. Not to get all sappy but how much benefit could a struggling single mom make of an unexpected $100...there's so much more going on here than what he or I consider to be throw away money.
Sorry for the rant.
"The steering wheel is about as useful as the rudder on a becalmed yacht" self to salesman trying to sell me a Mitsubishi Galant sometime in the 70's.
The same car had a seat where everything was adjustable, an in and out and up and down steering column and was appallingly uncomfortable no matter how hard I tried. Nice gearbox though

While talking about home purchases and refinances with some friends, I came to the realization, again, that many (most) do not think the same way.

Coworker: "So my dad cheated on my mom with her mother, and there's a good possibility he even conceived my mother."
Me: "Hey, that's a wild story and all, and it explains a lot about you, but maybe you should not ever tell that story to anyone ever again."

Did he look like this?
"It’s a fine line between idiot and genius and I’m drunkenly staggering back and forth across it."
well that went like a hand truck down a spiral staircase - as detailed in this thread

I should have told one of my coworkers the same thing when he said (really!) "I think my wife's diaphragm gives her toxic shock-- every time we have sex she throws up"
This was also a guy who talked a lot about all the subliminal messages on the news preparing us all for the coming bank collapse and declaration of martial law.
"He borrowed my car, took it to an autocross, won a bunch of money, did a celebratory burnout, blew up my motor, then billed me for a new one"
