Setting: on the phone
Scenario: The Fiancé took a shower at my place on Saturday. He didn’t want to use my last clean towel. So he . . . improvised.
Me: Hey, remind me again. How many degrees do you have from Yale?
Him: Just the two.
Me: Hm . . . ok. Because I was wondering what they would think of one of their alumni using a washcloth to dry themselves off after a shower.
Him: *laughs* I used an undershirt when I went on debate competitions. A washcloth is an improvement.

Setting: dinner
Scenario: I was discussing with the Fiancé how I tried to explain the usefullness of a Google docs spreadsheet over an Excel spreadsheet to someone who wasn’t all that hip to Google docs.
Him: You know what I wish we had in chambers? Google Wave!
Me: You know they shut down that service like two months ago, right?
Him: That’s good. Because I’m going to quit my job and start a tech company!
Me: And produce a product that has already failed once?
Him: Exactly! You could rewind documents. *makes a little air circle with his finger* I could use that at work!
