Some favorite semi-autobiographical quotes:

From a mentor who was explaining why a superior went off on me for no apparent reason:
"He doesn't respond to stress well. And to him, EVERYTHING is stressful."

To a friend who told his wife she needed to lose a lot of weight:
"At what point did you say to yourself, 'This is a good idea'?"

From my (then) five year old nephew:
"Peee-yew! Your bed smells like DOG!"

Meme question: "Have you ever had an imaginary friend?"
My reply: "Sometimes, I feel like most of my friends have been imaginary."

To someone who was bitching about work troubles:
"Yeah, this sucks, but keep it in perspective. It beats being in a foxhole in Iraq."

From a girlfriend whom was VERY surprised by something I did:
"Oh my God - you ARE a lesbian!"

From a Black Hat (instructor) speaking to another student coming down at Airborne school, overheard while I was rolling up my chute on the drop zone:
"No! Turn INTO the wind, Airborne! Turn INTO THE WIND! Into it!! INTO IT!!! INTO THE FUCKING WIND!!!
(A loud groan of frustration)
Awwwww, fuck it. Be All You Can Be!!!"
(The guy hit so hard he tumbled end over end - he looked like that opening scene in the Six Million Dollar Man. We all gave him a good golf clap from the side of the drop zone.)

While walking into a video store to get a refund for a lesbian-themed movie we rented:
"Three out of five lesbians say this movie sucked, and I brought two of them with me."
