Tidbits - Caught in Contemplation

I.

Uncle (to my cousin): M, we're throwing a football around, want to join us?
M: Nah, that's okay, Liz is explaining all my problems to me.
Uncle: (laugh) That's scary.

II.

Aunt (to me): You're going to play soccer in your hiking boots?
Me: Well, my only other choice are my tevas...
Aunt: Oh, well that's perfect then.

III.

A: (About jetskis) Yeah, they sometimes like to eat ropes.
B: So how many engineers does it take to get a rope out of a jet ski?
C: Well, we should have plenty.

(And I think we did, eventually have 7 or 8 guys fixing the jet ski. Fortunately, the fixes worked.)
