Lauren (making lunch): Up, Up, on your feet!
Lloyd (playing a computer game and not looking up from the screen): What are we doing?
Lauren: Beating the Delta Panthers!
Lloyd (sighing robotically): That’s impossible. The Delta Panthers cannot be beaten.
Lauren: That’s right! (Strikes victory pose) The Delta Panthers cannot be beaten!
(Lunch-making and game-playing resume in silence.)
Brad says
That reminds me of an old episode of the Simpsons --
Hynpotist: You are all very good players…
Team: [entranced] We are all very good players…
Hypnotist: You will beat Shelbyville…
Team: We will beat Shelbyville…
Hypnotist: You will give one hundred and ten percent…
Team: That’s impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give…
Lloyd says
I use that quote when I teach percentages to middle schooler.

(waits)
I’VE GOT ARMS!
(silence—then, but you got no voice)
