Oh Baby! My ass is going to be on fire tonight!

She:
This is really a workout. I can feel it my calves and hamstrings.
Me:
Yeah, you are setting a strong pace.
She:
Oh Baby! My ass is going to be on fire tonight!
Me:
LOL!
She:
I mean, uh, I didn't mean it quite like that.
Me:
Ha!

Leaky head gaskets

He:
So you are going to _ for the holiday?
Me:
Maybe, I might be changing my plans.
He:
Oh?
Me:
I have leaky head gaskets.
He:
That's not so good. I've never heard of a Subaru having that problem.
Me:
Well, according to my guy at the shop, it's actually a pretty common problem for this car.
He:
Really?
Me:
It's even covered under factory warranty up to 100 thousand miles.
He:
That's good.
Me:
Not really, I'm at 112.
He:
That's not good.
Me:
I'm told that it will probably be a $3,000 repair.
He:
Ouch.
Me:
The dealership quoted me a 1500 estimate. I think I have more homework to do.
He:
Well, that's better.
Me:
Yeah, makes it sound downright decent by comparison.

The Tao of Jones

She:
I've never asked, what is your faith?
Me:
I'm pretty much a Jonesist.
She:
What is that?
Me:
Well, it's about 50% agnostic, about 25% atheist, perhaps a little more. It's got about 15% Judeo Christian from the culture I've been brought up in. About 5% Buddhist, another 5% of Islam and the rest is a mix of Pagan and Bahai and Wiccan and whatever other religions I have been exposed to through the years.
She:
For a minute there I thought Jonesist meant you thought of yourself as a deity.
Me:
Not so much. While I have created many things in my life I have never created a universe. Most recently I made a batch of mustard.
She:
They say that the kingdom of heaven can exist in a mustard seed.
Me:
Hmmm. Well perhaps I am a deity then. A god to whatever universe exists in that pot of mustard.
