He replied, "Margarine cup". Of course, if she would have asked me for my nickname, I would have said "Weaselpants".

Later, the volunteer dad clock operator let the clock run during a free throw. The coach whose team was trailing yelled, "The clock's still running!" My partner looked at him and replied, "And.....your point?".

I got to work with him again the next morning but he didn't have any good lines that day. I asked him why not and he said his quota is two a week. I said, "Two a week? Good lines or girls?" He didn't even get it.

Heard of a girl in our state that had lots of trouble growing up and the police had to come and remove her from a middle school classroom. Her name: Verma Big Beaver! I wonder why she had problems?
