I used to tear tickets in a really crummy movie theatre. A lot of real assholes came into this theatre too. My friend in the box office (sells the tickets) would beep me on my walkie talkie whenever there was someone that had pissed him off, I would have some fun and screw with these people.
Me: "Hello, how are you"
Customer: "Fine" (gives me his ticket)
Me: "No I'm sorry were not showing Harry Potter anymore. Religious groups were holding protests outside of our theatre saying that ''black magic'' shouldn't be shown on screen. We finally gave in and stopped playing the movie when they started to sacrifice penguins."
But anyway, this one day a guy in his mid-forties with two kids about 7 and 9 years old walked through the door. I tore their tickets and was about to say something but I got cutoff by the older kid as they were walking towards the concession stand.
Kid #1: "WOW dad! Look! A Lord of the Rings poster!!"
Dad: "yeah it is son.."
Kid #2: WOW!!! ANOTHER ONE over there!!!!
Dad: "yup, they have three more."
Kid #1: "REALLY!"
Dad: "yeah sure, now shut up and order your popcorn."
This last summer I was at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. My family was at the Epcot park (For those of you who don't know: The park is basically set up with flags from several different countries that line a big pond in the center. Each of these flags marks the area dedicated to its appropriate country. Tourists can walk through and experience that country's various culture, foods, and traditions).
We had just walked out of one of the stores in China, and they had these kids doing a tumbling act. They were really good; they would do a series of cartwheels in a row, balancing acts, or somersault down a mat and then jump up through a hoop 6 up or higher. I was standing with the crowd watching these kids until I realized that the rest of my family had already left.
As I was walking away to catch up, I recognized a vaguely familiar and sarcastic voice. I turned to see an old man talking with two rather young kids.
Kid #1: "WOW! Grandpa those kids were really cool weren't they!?"
Grandpa: "yeah they were, but you know what else they were?"
Kid #2: "What Grandpa??"
Grandpa: "Communist"
Then I recognized the dad from the movie theatre as he started laughing at what his grandfather had just said.

Sure, I might offend a few of the blue-noses with my cocky stride and
musky odors -- oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called `City
Fathers' who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about
`What's to be done with this Homer Simpson"'
