Happy Holidays from Dad Whyte
Dad: okay, so I go to this Jewish deli in Portsmouth to get bread for the stuffing
Me: uh huh
Dad: and you know that challah is the best for stuffing, right?
Me: oh really, I didn't know that...
Dad: yeah. anyway, so I'm in the bakery and I hold up the bread and I say "Excuse me, what's the Challah cost?"
(say it out loud)
Me: (laughter, eye rolling)
Dad: and the guy looks at me like I've killed his mother, and so I say "How much?"
Dad: GET IT?
Me: yeah, like the Holocaust? In a Jewish deli? Nice Dad, real nice.
Dad: At least you think it's funny, I told your mom and she rolled her eyes at me

Ashley: What are you doing?
Me: Unpacking groceries.
Ashley: Oh! What'd you get?
Me: Uh, some carrots, apple sauce, reduced fat Nilla wafers, tomato soup, and some chicken.
Ashley: So basically you didn't get anything.
Me: Ashley, you know my eating habits are weird.
Ashley: So no cereal? Or bread? Or frozen burritos? Or Hot Pockets?
Me: Ew, burritos and Hot Pockets? No way. And I don't eat cereal or bread.
Ashley: We could never be roommates.

Helping Non-Native English Speakers...
Yazeed: hey david, just a simple question
Me: go for it
Yazeed: as we both know, my knowledge of the English language is abysmal and leaves much to be desired
Me: stfu, you know damn good and well that your english is great
Yazeed: oftentimes I stumble upon expressions that I cannot, for the life of me, fathom
though I would be able to deduce their nature, and this one was of a sexual connotation I so happen to hear in a movie
a girl says "I did a number 2," whatever does that mean?
Me: um
i would say that it sounds like she means she pooped
Yazeed: oh wow
you're right
