"But the water's clean".

Many years ago when a friend and I stopped at a rest stop and the sinks looked dirty. I said, "It's not very clean", they said that. Now for some reason it still pops into my head any time I wash my hands in a public restroom. Whyyyyyyyyyy.

"Oh no, not again" from the paragraph:

"Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.

"HELLO GRAHAMOTHY!" "Hello murder boy!" "Oh nooo"

It was from a stream of a group of people playing Among Us with nearby audio. Graham kills two people, gets ejected. Ghosts can hear each other. So they ganged up on him for a bit lol

I love that episode. That and the "challenging wank" episode.

Edited to add: How can I possibly have forgotten to add Joe Wilkinson's poem about naming willies... Unforgivable of me.

Homer Simpson thinking to himself:

"Aww, $20? I wanted a peanut."

"$20 can buy many peanuts."

"Explain how."

"Money can be exchanged for goods and services."

I think at least one part of this exchange to myself almost every time I buy anything.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My favorite Homer quote has always been

"Oh, I have three kids and no money. Why can't I have no kids and three money?"

[–] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

There's always the classic

"Alcohol the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems"

And the awesome "But this gun had a hold on me. I felt this incredible surge of power, like God must feel; when he's holding a gun."

One of my old coworkers at a previous job, I forget the exact context, but when he was asked to do something:

"Hey [Name], can you get this done?"

"Can the Pope's dick fit through a donut?"

".... I don't know?"

"Exactly 😎 👉 👉"

"I see said the blind man to the dead dog" is what I've always heard. Definitely a fave

[–] Fierro@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Argentinian here, I've heard that one too, it sounds better in Spanish (as I presume happens in Swedish). "Veremos", le dijo el ciego al sordo.

That's a good one. I heard that the same time as my personal favorite

"Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?"

spoiler"Because it was dead"

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

"What's big brown and sticky?"

"A big stick"

"What's brown, and hurts if it falls on you from a tree?"

"A piano"
