Many years ago I created my "random quotes" book. It has kept me and others very entertained. Anytime I hear a random saying, or funny encounter... any humorous moment, I try to remember to write it down in my book for later enjoyment. So...instead of making up 25 things about myself I'm going to write 25 (or more) of what I consider to be the top humorous things in my book. DISCLAIMER... I understand not all of these will be funny to you. Some were funny in context and may not make sense if you werent there. But they were all funny to me at one point. Also. I apologize if you are quoted and it is embarrassing
Before I start the quotes... I MUST begin with this picture:
#1:
This is my dad's senior picture. Other than the fact that this is a GREAT photo scanned from the "dictograph" of 1971, notice the name. His given birth name was Larry, not Lawrence. Poor chap.
Now the quotes:
2. "What do we know about strangers? That they want to hurt us and kill us with their candy" –Joe boyd. VCC
3. "Let’s put it this way, if I adopt Travis he’ll be your step bro and all you’ll be able to do is play ball and go skating" – my dad
4. "I need to call someone that has cancer" –my mom (the start of the random quotes book)

21. "I HATE PUBERTY!" –spoken by a 23 year old male.
22. "The Washington Memorial… it was shaped like that because, well, I don’t remember why" –dad. “That’s what she said” –me
23. Funny conversation when my aunt called my house and my sister answered the phone like this:

My aunt: “Hello?”
Lindsay “Hola?........ This is the Ralston’s”
Aunt: “Oh.. I thought this was the Chinese restaurant”
24. From 30 rock: “Who is Conan O’Brien and why is she so sad?”
25. "I really like these cars. Especially the overhead viewing stations" –my 85 year old grandmother

27. “If there was such a thing as a ‘smell track’, this would be it for our life”. (me to travis after he farts)
28. Dan gently touches Travis’ hand. Travis says: “Dan… I’m confused”
*Ok so it was 28.... I'm sure there are many more.. perhaps I will post some along the way as they happen. It brings me great joy to read back over some of these.
And thats all.
