those special moments...

Student: I have to translate MacBeth into English.
Me: Isn't it already written in English?

On a booze run...

Clerk at bodega: You're bleeding.
Me: Oh no, really?
Clerk: yeah, you look so sharp you cut yourself.


Seriously, life is full of delightful surprises and even a late-night booze run after unpacking all day can be fun. Everything can be fun.
