Bro: You know it's the Footballers Wive$ season finale, right? This better be good.
Me: Whatever. I'll call you tomorrow.
Bro: No, it's okay. It's on commercial break. What is it?
Me: [insert neurotic rant.]
Bro: Just so you know, at the end of the next commercial break ... I’m hanging up on you.
Me: Whatever!!! Why not just end the call now? Or are you just waiting for the commercial break so that you can have the pleasure of hanging up on me?
Bro: Yeah, I'd rather hang up on you.

Bro on My Fear of Being Emotional Availabile with Sven Johånn Låårssøn

Bro on VD and Bed Bugs

ME: They say that there's a bigger stigma for people with bed bugs than there is for people with VD.
BRO: I get that.
ME: What? You think it's better to have VD than bed bugs?!?!
BRO: Well, yeah, I guess. I mean, at least with VD, there's a chance that you did something fun to get it. There was fun involved. But, with bed bugs ...
ME: Yeah, I see what you mean. With bed bugs, it's just like: you got in the wrong cabbie's cab.
BRO: Exactly, or like, you rubbed up against the wrong person on the subway.
ME: Yeah.
BRO: Exactly. There's no fun with bed bugs.

Mags on 2 Men @ A Bistro

"Normally, in America, if two guys order a bottle of wine, it's because they're gay. Not in Europe. They actually do that here. Two guys will share a bottle of wine and it just means, well, they're having wine. That's all."
