Actual quotes that are funny, even out of context
My neighbor knocked on our door recently to say "I'm sorry to bother you, but your cat is in my car." (she had crawled in through the sunroof) I laugh every time I think of that.

Got any of your own?

2. A couple of aquaintances had been up for over 24 hours after a family emergency
A hospital doctor gave them some sleeping pills so they could get some rest. One of them says to her husband, after he's just fallen asleep, "Wake up, Ron, I have a sleeping pill for you."

7. "Waiter, there's a tooth in my snails!"
("Oiga, camerero! Hay un diente in mis caracoles.")

It really did happen to me in a small restaurant in Northern Spain: it appeared to be a human molar with a silver filling. To this day, I have no idea how the tooth got in the plate of caracoles alioli. The restaurant comped me on the dinner.

"'Excuse me - I'm looking for a depressed Buddhist', I said to the librarian". I'd been browsing the shelves of my local library. When I opened a copy of "The Zen Path Through Depression", a fifty dollar WalMart gift certificate from "Mom - To Marlene" dropped out. I do tend to be honest, but mostly I couldn't resist using that line!

10. I was walking on an Amsterdam's Red Light District street, turning the corner...
When I heard a woman say in an unmistakable American accent, "Oh you love it when I stick my finger in your ass."

I took too long to turn back to see who said it, and since the street was crowded it could have been anyone.

Damn, I miss Amsterdam

14. My daughter commented on a car that left it's blinker on after switching lanes...
She smarted off with, "Better shut that off before your blinker fluid runs out"

Her guy friend said, "I didn't know they needed blinker fluid."

He really believed it and to this day we die laughing every time we talk about it.
