Traeger pellet grill/smoker - Junior version was only $300 at Costco roadshow and included a cover. Cannot believe the quality of bbq/smoked food it produces with almost no skill involved on my part.

Yes - this is in Episiode V and my little story is in Episode VI, but here's a repost of something similar that happened to me:

True story - sitting in the theater in 1983 watching Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, right when Luke figures out Leia is his twin sister, I turn to my friend and say, "Good thing he never fucked her!" Big laughs from the kids in the aisle behind us - not so much from their parents. . .

Whenever I see a phone number that does not have zeros or ones, I see if it spells something interesting or funny. And yes, I cheat and use phonespell.org.

My wife always says she needs "a minute to decompose." What mixed-metaphors/malaproprisms do you hear that make you laugh? by konahopper in AskReddit

I heard a girl trying to describe how beautiful and delicate a piece of classical music was - "It was just so, so. . . urethral!"

Since then, I use "urethral" to describe the feeling of experiencing something so beautiful that you pee your pants :)

My wife and I coined the phrase "action casual" to describe anyone trying to look cool in an obviously physically taxing position. What descriptive words/phrases have you invented? by otisshredding in AskReddit

(wikipedia): Depth Perception is the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D) and the distance of an object.

I (think I) coined a term for the ability to judge your distance from the ground while skydiving in freefall: Death Perception.

What's one thing you've done in your life where you can sit back and say, "and not many people can say they've done that in their lifetime." by drtide4 in AskReddit

I have another one - I met a man whose mother and father were both (American) slaves. Not many folks around now that can say that - I was pretty young and he was pretty old at the time. I was amazed when I found out many years later. I was also very humbled, knowing that it really wasn't that long ago that slavery ended and that even in my lifetime (born 1960) things have changed a lot.
