Person: Honey, have you seen my smith and wesson? Honey: It's in the foyer with your ruger mini 14 and the uzi! Person: oh, right...yeah? Mike: It's me, Mike.

Mike: Have the Rams put in a quarterback named B.D. yet? Person: Nope, friend of yours? Mike: Yeah, poor guy. A whole season on the bench. No wonder his teammates call him "splinters". I was hoping his patience would pay off, that on the last game of the season they'd at least give him one set of downs. Coach: Splinters! You're in! B.D.: Ooops.
