Has anyone seen my copy of the movie ‘Amelia?’ You know, the movie about Amelia Earhart? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
Famous Person: But enough about my successful tv and film career. What do YOU do for work?

Jeremiah: oh really that's weird.
Ryan: I know.
Jeremiah: Wait I think I know a trick. *asks Ryan if he can borrow his computer and uses it to pay cable bill*
Ryan: It's working now.
Jeremiah: Neat.
This day was so long, that it played a cameo at the end of the movie “Boogie Nights.”
I finally finished reading the Harry Potter series for the first time last night. I have to admit, I was quite surprised to learn that O.J. Simpson was the real killer after all.
In honor of President Hu Jintao visiting President Obama, I plan on visiting a Chinese restaurant tonight, and leaving the PIN number to my debit card as a tip.

MISSIONARIES: Good evening. Would you like some hot chocolate?

[awkward silence]
MISSIONARIES: Hmmm... is there anything we can help you with?
ME: Nope, I'm all set. I have my hot chocolate.
MISSIONARIES: Well, have a good night!
ME: Thanks, you too.
[I continue walking home, enjoying the best cup of hot chocolate I've ever had in my life]

“I read today that Facebook is now worth $50 billion. Then I sighed, and...”
