My Principal came up to me in the hall at school one day.

"You need to go in your room and lock your door when the bell rings. Jerome's Mama is on her way here and says she is going to kill you."

Jerome's Mama was a 350 lb renowned brawler. I had just had to restrain Jerome (5' 11", 275 lb football player) using a "sleeper" hold that nearly left him unconscious. There had been a near riot in the school lunchroom at breakfast.
 
"The building is on lockdown"

"I forgot my music"

"My horn's in the shop"

"I can't sing that high" (Then join the alto section, one row behind you.)

"Mom sign this for school and send a check"

"The internet's down"

"This is going to cost more than I originally thought"

"I'm going to close my eyes and use the Force" (Said a doctor with a hypodermic needle for a cortisone shot in the webbing of my hand...and he raised up over his head, and did close his eyes and use a LOT of the Force)


"Are you ____'s mom?"

"we're out of coffee"

"bend over and try to relax"
