You know, it's exciting to see that even after college I'm still learning things. Here are a series of conversations I've had in the last few days:
Nutrition
Person A: "Why do you eat tofu? I mean, why do you want to eat fake meat?"
Me: "I prefer to look at it as real soy."
Person A: "But I mean, it's not natural."
The next day with someone else
Person B: "What did you make vegetable soup? Wait no, you're vegan now aren't you?"
Me: "I don't understand how vegetable soup isn't vegan."
Person B: "I told you I'm drunk. I can't believe I just said that though you should just shoot me in the face."
World Issues
(While watching a performer from Rwanda on American Idol promoting a charity)
Person B: "I don't understand...what is this? What is he?"
Me: "Haha...seriously?"
(After having a conversation about being of Lebanese descent)
Person B: "Oh my gosh, so I went to the tennis courts today to throw the ball around with Chloe. And, I know we weren't playing tennis and she's just a dog but these A-Rabs came up--I'm not being very politically correct, but I don't know what to call them so I just say A-Rabs--and they just started playing tennis."
Me: "Um..."
Person B: "I mean I just don't know what to call them I guess their Islamic or something."
Math
(After hearing that there were 88 million votes this week on American Idol)
Person B: "Wow. That just shows how many people don't have lives in America."
Me: "That doesn't mean 88 million people voted."
Person B: "I know. It was probably, like, half that amount of people voting ten times."
Patience
(After getting off the phone with Megan)
Person B: "Who was that, Grayson (a guy friend of mine)? Hehe."
Me: "My sister."
Person B: "Haha. You're gonna get pissed at me soon, aren't you?"
Me: "Probably."
Manners
Me: "We're allowed to chew gum here? I've never been allowed to chew gum at a job."
Person C: "Even a restaurant job?"
Me: "Especially a restaurant job."
Person C: "Yeah I guess it's kinda rude, but I just think 'Hey if you're gonna eat in front of me I'm gonna smack my gum in your face.' It keeps me from eating."

i really wish you would wear a camera. you have the funniest conversations and even though i am pretty sure i now what your face looked like i'm not sure others do and it adds to the hilarity.
You really have a good ear for dialogue. I, on the other hand, can't even remember what I say most of the time.
I agree with Megan...we should cancel one of the boring reality shows and just show your conversations.
The nerve of those people playing tennis on a tennis court.
