They do need to be dealt with. Much like the people who 'Do' all the funny bits from a comedy show the morning after it's been on. And laugh just as much at their own version.

One of the highlights of my sister and big gay bother-in-law visiting is that he continually quotes TV shows and movies and tries to pass off their brilliance as his own. He does this with "The Office" and "Family Guy" especially. The real pisser, however, is that he never has any of the quotes exactly right. So, I do the him the kind service of correcting him and then stating what show it originally came from. I love my family!

You have a mirror on the other side of you?

I wonder if your brother-in-law is on another forum, telling the same story, from his P.O.V?

I love Family guy but hate Quagmire quotes because not only is that getting tired but my ex used to do them all the time and it wound me up!

Big Gay John quotes the cutaways, usually with Peter's lead in. Always wrong though. He never has them right.

Oh, I'm sure he is, and he's telling everyone how f**cking brilliant and glorious he is.

Putting in epidurals for a living, you end up seeing a lot of women's lower backs.

Yeah, but what's with the water spray? Surely there's a more high tech way of finding out if the epidural's working than spraying cold water on you, before they slice open your abdomen?

Hang on, that is water they're squiriting on your back isn't it....?

Tis ethyl chloride (which, yes, might seem like cold water, I'll give you that). No, there's no more scientific way of assessing the dermatome block for surgery, though I tend to combine the cold spray with pinching the woman and seeing if it hurts. (You can also be pretty certain the block's gone in the right place from looking at what's happening to the pulse and BP, but that won't tell you how numb the patient will be. For a Caesarian, unless the patient already has an epidural in-situ, we use a different block, a spinal, which is very predictable and quick-acting. )

Talking of people who're not really wacky trying to wacky, how about a very young Paul Young singing about toast?

Is this the worst idea for a song? Ever? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJmKStqugMc&feature=related
