It's rather brilliant how a single line can shift the focus of an entire conversation, or even an entire series of conversations spanning a given time period. What's even better about them is that they can come from literally anywhere, and they're particularly enjoyable when they come from someone you don't really know.
Take last night's dinner, for example. Me and my lovely companion were wrapping up dinner last night when our waiter - a kindly old man - stopped by and commented that he'd only been working at that establishment a few months and couldn't wait to try a bunch of things on the menu. Until we was able to try them all, he said, he would just have to 'undress them with his eyes, with little to no penetration.'
Needless to say, that statement - in particular the last clause - dominated conversation for the rest of the evening. I personally feel it can serve as punctuation for such a huge range of sentences/topics. For example, while walking past a massive crane after dinner, I looked up and said, "You need something moved? I can do that. I can do that SO HARD...with little to no penetration."
Sometimes I wish I could remember to document all of these little gems that life drops on me along the way. They're fantastic.
Signing off...with little to no penetration.
