Mathematicians finally developed a financial model to accurately compare apples and oranges. Any two kinds of fruit can be compared, although guavas still cause minor rounding errors.

I shouted the perfect words to scare him off. It was just the delivery (and only the delivery) that made me sound like a twelve-year-old girl with pee running down her leg. I felt dirty and stupid.

We played for about half an hour before I realized we were actually playing two different games. What I’d thought of as ludo was actually a game called gin rummy, and what Warren was playing seemed to be a mixture of craps and table tennis. Once we started playing by one consistent set of rules, though, the fun was really over.

I wore an elaborate disguise that made me look like a caterer from a rivaling company.
“
What was wrong with people these days? Couldn’t a guy have a few beers to drown a personal problem without getting caught up in a makeshift intervention?

Some of my stuff’s so ugly, a little water damage could only help. Might

You’re stuck with yourself for the rest of your life, and now you know, beyond a doubt, that you’re an asshole.
“
it sounds like my neighbor is stir-frying hamsters in a large enameled wok.
“
what was it they called you? It’s on the tip of my tongue. It was something to do with cats and large amounts of body fat…

My dad gave her the finger, went down to town hall, and took the name of the person in line ahead of him. He wasn’t aware he’d overheard a last name.

I wasn’t going to have my pressure points fondled unexpectedly.

Dug up a die and threw it 72 times. Aimed to get as high a total as possible. Tallied the throws knowing I should end up with a number close to 252 (on average the throws should distribute evenly over all six faces, hitting each face about twelve times).
