Having a drink in an outside patio with my friend and colleague:
SHE: Oh my god. There’s a spider on the wall. Kill it. KILL IT.
ME: Here, I’ll remove it with this menu--
SHE: NO. Not good enough.
(STOMP)
ME: Hey! I was going to deposit it in those bushes. That was a living thing. Aren’t you a believer in God, and stuff?
SHE: Whatever. It was a spider.
ME: We are all spiders in the eyes of the Lord. Didn’t you ever read Jonathan Edwards’s Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God?
SHE: What, the senator who was just caught cheating on his wife?
ME: Hmm. Now that you mention it, it’s kind of interesting they have the same name.
Bonus conversation with someone totally different!
SHE: You should have been the wedding I was at this weekend. It was Star Wars themed.
ME: .....
SHE: Great Darth Vader cake.
ME: ....just tell me that they’re not planning on having children.
SHE: They’re hoping for twins. So they can name them Luke and Leia.
