Quid, that's cowardly. If you want your wife to know that you only feel friendship towards her, you need to tell her that yourself.

Convince Quid to go to marriage guidance!

I would, but I just remembered this from my etymology book:

despondence (n.)

"despondent condition, a sinking or dejection of spirit from loss of hope or courage in affliction or difficulty," 1670s, from Latin despondentem (nominative despondens), present participle of despondere "to give up, lose, lose heart, resign, to promise in marriage" (especially in phraseanimam despondere, literally "give up one's soul"), etymologically "to promise to give something away," from de "away" (see de-) + spondere "to promise"

Let's go to the drive-in.

No! I envision a better way! A grand vision! A higher, more noble way of settling our disputes. I will call it "the rule of law". And when it doesn't go our way then we'll give the lawmakers a good shellacking with our shillelaghs.

Take a bath.

Meh, I'll just give my soup to @LaSorcia.

Somebody fix me a hamburger for breakfast, please. Cheese and bacon, if you will. Make it snappy, too!

I believe in informed consent. I can't possibly agree to play until I know which game 'this game' is. For all I know, you want to play Russian Roulette.

Remember to put some money in the offering plate this Sunday!

Money?! Someone has been neglecting the divine commandments of the Old Testament! No, I always leave a nice fattened lamb carcass in the offering plate...

Go buy more ink for the printer.

Perhaps you should get a bit more computer training under your belt before you assume the role of tech support, when an email won’t go through it’s not because the printer is out of ink.


Can somebody show Quid how to get back to the loading dock?

I keep trying to pull off the ‘A man or a woman’ look but I can’t get it quite right. If I go all out with my professional female face mask & wig I look 100% female, but if I lose the mask my broad shoulders keep giving me away as 100% male.


Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam. Where the deer and the antelope play!

I'd love to give you a home as soon as the great communist utopia is realised. To each according to his needs, and obviously you just need a tiny tenement and I need a sprawling dacha. Unfortunately, counter-revolutionaries and kulaks have killed off all the deer, buffalo and antelope; claiming that the fat and hearty peasants and workers ate them all due to an invented famine.

Oppose the capitalist propaganda.
