Quotable

Just some tidbits I heard that made me struggle not to laugh at the wrong time...

"You can have a GED, PhD, and any of them other alphabets!"
-Someone at church who was trying to express how little he cared about certain "status" markers


"My father is a veteran who served his country, and he never received his benefits..but he still has his insanity, thank Jehovah God."
-I know what you really meant, baby girl...

"When my mother was alive, she took care of my father. This new wife he got won't even fold up his socks."
-Dang, that's tough Paw-Paw

"When is she gon call me back? Is she gon call me back today?" - A lady asked me this when I told her the person she was calling for was not in the office
"M'am, I'm not sure when she'll be back in, but she will certainly follow up with you when she returns." - My answer to this dumb question.
"Oh, you not sure? See, that's what's wrong with the city of Detroit, nobody ever sure. Nobody dont know nothing. Nobody ever in the office when you need em. We don't need this mess in the city, we need somebody who gon care about the citizens." - Whoooaa, mama! I didn't think it called for all that, but I guess she's not a fan of uncertainty...
