A few quick ones (*)
Some conversations just stay in your mind. For their wit, stupidity or sometimes... their gaffe-cal nature. A few samples from my own life follow. If you are not amused, and think they are all B-grade, glance my name in the "About me" section. ;)
Addendum: You see I wrote this post but came across a wonderful (and clearly superior) blog while hopping. The blog is maintained by Peeyush (may he live long and prosper) and contains the quotes of his good kid, Ankit (may he become a smart, happy and a decent young man who blogs in his teens, finds a babe and lives happily ever after). You can read the page at http://ankitsaid.blogspot.com/. Enjoy!

B: "There is this book by Tony Schwartz"
B's Boss: "The Art of the Deal guy?"
B: "Yeah... He wrote a book - Searching for wisdom in America. *brief pause.* I think your girlfriend should read it"
*B's boss and his colleague laugh their ass off. Half a second later, B realizes his gaffe and joins in the revelry.*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
B drives to albuquerque to meet his cousin's little kids, that are both growing rapidly past his knee cap. G, all of 9 years old, keeps playing his gameboy videogame without a break. While leaving, as all responsible uncles do, he turns in a good word of advise for the younG:
B: "You should stop playing with the playboy. Too much of it is not good."
G's mom (my cousin): "It is a gameboy, Bala. Not a playboy."
Like all good ladies in my family, she let my weakest moment pass. But, deep inside, I know that they never forget... they never do...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lady at the music shop, M, converses with B about the new metronome he wants to buy:
B: Will this work well without fail?
M: Dont worry, it won't miss a beat! *wink*
Thats all, folks!
