My blood is blue, too
Black customer: Give me a yellow cash card, my brother.
Middle Eastern owner: What'd you call me?
Black customer: I said 'my brother.'
Middle Eastern owner: No, no, no. We are different.
Black customer: No, we're not -- we all come from the same place. We have the same blood.
Middle Eastern owner: No, your blood is black -- your blood is shit.
Black customer: No, my blood is blue just like yours. Besides, if I don't come here to your store to spend money, how are you going to afford the bombs to blow up buildings?

Bracelets, Jeff, bracelets
Jeff: I dont think the Tigers are going to be good again next year. I mean, they'll be okay, but not really good again.
Me: Whatever, don't worry about it.
Jeff: They overachieve. Like the bangles.
Andres: Bengals.
Jeff: Whatever. Earrings, ferocious man-eating cats: same shit.

Sex the Vote
Kailee: If NJ goes republican, I'll feel mildly guilty and I'll wash down the guilt with a shot of apathy and a chaser of "one vote doesn't make a difference" and another of "well politicians are all evil anyway".
Me: Wow, washing apathy down with more political apathy. That's potent.
Kailee: I know, I'll be drunk on indifference. And then I'll awkwardly hook up with the demise of democracy, and totally forget his name the next morning.
Me: Ouch. Lady liberty and I aren't on speaking terms, something similar happened: I called her Blind Justice during sex. Let me tell you... that torch is a weapon.
Kailee: Not when she uses it on me...
