Hearing approaching footsteps: “Peeing with the door open!”
Footsteps getting closer: “Peeing with the door open! PEEING WITH THE DOOR OPEN!!!”
Right outside of view of the door: “Hey, you wouldn’t happen to be peeing with the door open, would you?”
“Arrrrrggggggghhhhhh!”

While we were visiting our friends in Columbus recently, one night they asked if we were fans of Flight of the Conchords. “Frodo, Don’t Wear the Ring” has always been at the top of my list, but I think that may have been knocked down a peg since Chris and Laura had us watch “Business Time.” Maybe it’s because I’ve been married almost 13 years, or maybe it’s because I could relate to the part about sorting the recycling (although never as foreplay), or maybe it’s just because I find this song hilarious, but I laughed so hard the first time I watched it I cried a bit. Things that strike me as so funny I cry are far and few between.

“Hey, did you hear about that Tupac hologram performing at Coachella?”
“Nope.”
“You have to see it.”
Nodding toward Coraline, who has come to stand in front of the iPad as the video starts playing: “Should she be watching this?”
“Oh, she’s fine.”
“She’s starting to repeat things. And he’s already dropped the F-bomb a few times.”
“Oh, well, I don’t think she really noticed.”
Nodding toward an entranced, non-blinking Coraline: “Honey, I really don’t think our 19-month-old should be watching and listening to gangsta rap. I can’t believe I’m the one having to say that.”

I recently watched series one of the British sketch comedy Man Stroke Woman (of “man-cold” fame) via Netflix, and I loved it. This is one of my favorite sketches, and I think it’s a great example of the show’s style of humor. The fact that the series stars Nick Frost is an added bonus.

“You don’t have botulism.”
“You don’t know that for sure. I could have botulism.”
Pulling up the website and reading the symptoms. “You’re not slurring your speech. Is your vision blurring? Can you still see? Are you blind?”
“No, I’m not blind.”
“Then you don’t have botulism.” Going to the kitchen to look at the rice pudding containers and coming back to the office. “Honey, did you not see that they say right there on the side to refrigerate them? And that they were bloated? “
Groaning in pain. “No.”
“Huh. Maybe you are blind, then.”

*For the morbidly curious and strong-stomached, here’s the clip. DO NOT watch if you’re remotely squeamish. Trust me on this one.

“If you had to go back in time to when you had to work and toil in the fields just to survive, how do you think you’d do?”
“Honey, I’m pretty sure I’d be their first recorded suicide.”

“You know how F is S’s work husband? Well, I realized I don’t really have a work husband since I work with everybody about the same.”
