I didn't want to star this, but you are really twisting my arm.

“Depends. Is she pregnant?”

He may have misunderstood what people were talking about when they said they were dealing with 30-50 feral hogs.

I think a “chunkier Reese Witherspoon” is called a Reese’s Witherspoon.

“In the building” is also a pretty solid summary of my average day at work.

McDonald’s bizarre forays into elevated burgers and healthy salads happened because they saw their market share dropping, even as their profits climbed. They saw the signs of a massive increase in frequency of dining out, and couldn’t conceive of it not being about them. Rather than understand how they fit in a new…

“I think, as a Canadian, we would just never ever think about doing something like that,” 

Actually I think the first rule of soccer is that you aren’t supposed to use your hands
