Every once in a while...I'll hear someone say a line that has an interesting sound or meter.
Here's one I just heard:
"Don't cough on your hand and touch my mouse"
another I heard a few weeks ago:
"He teaches karate
to kids in the city"
"Physical Therapy Autorization?
Ok to authorize per the notation"
Boy, they're finding ME today !
My favorite of all time: A phrase that I TYPED when I was temping at an insurance firm:
"any individual that is a person"
(It actually means something in the context of individual variable insurance, but it's still what my sister calls A BONKER.)
One that always resonates with me is the last sentence of Out - Out by Robert Frost.
"And they, since they were not the one dead, turned to their affairs."
Sone day's I think it's genius, others insanity!
A number of years back, we had a dog named Rocky, and also a friend named Rocky. We got into the habit of saying "Rocky the Dog" and "Rocky the Person" to the point where that became their commonly used names.
I get a lot of spam (because of the net-searching I have to do for my job) and the subject lines are getting weirder and weirder. I think it's a spammer tactic for getting through filters.
Today I got one called "improve your mother's account combustion."
I've become fascinated with spam phrases

Do you guys find yourselves scribbling down notes when someone unintentionally says something that strikes a nerve?
Last week, in casual conversation, I pulled out a sticky-note and jotted down a phrase out of context. When my friend asked what I had written in the middle of our conversation, I showed her my note to myself (for later use). It read: "her daughter brought her".
Of course I won't use it like that. I'll put them at the ends of two lines.
Anybody else?

Yep....i often do that while listening to the sermon. I gather them up and use them when writing poetry and I get stuck....sometimes they spawn their own poems, entirely.
I am interested in finding out the rest of this poem, who wrote it and what it means? thanks Jim

As I stated in another thread, I think it"s from a landscaping company:
