At work we have this whiteboard in the front of the office. On the whiteboard are quotes employees have written up over the course of the month.

Usually they are design quotes, marketing quotes, or just funny quotes we wanted to share. Today, I put up my first quote:

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.Mark Twain

This quote has little application for here, but it got me thinking how enjoyable quotes can be when shared among friends. So, here are a few of my favorites.

• Don’t go all in before you see the flop! — Stacey’s Mom

• Attack of the Orchids! Ahhhh!A young friend, after seeing some wild orchids at a dinner party.

• You know what they say about melon…Eat it alone or leave it alone! — My dad after getting sick off rotten melon at Shari’s

• Wait! Is he gay? Am I gay? What? — A confused friend while watching Veronica Mars

• I beat your mom! — Chess club kid to me.

And, here’s a joke for all the married couples.

The little boy came home from school happy, dancing up and down to tell his dad the good news.

“What’s the good news, Son?”, asked Dad.

“Well at school today, I joined the big play!”, said Son.

“Ah! That’s great, Son! Tell me, what part did you get?”

Dramatically and with great pride, Son said, “I got the part of the HUSBAND!”.

Dad shakes his head and says, “Aww…I’m sorry Son. Too bad you didn’t get a speaking role.”

HAHA!
