Snippet of Lunch Conversation

Nicki: My family worships Joe. He's totally the favorite in-law.

Me: Why is he the favorite? From what you've said about him, he sounds pretty stupid.

Nicki: Oh, he is! But he's nice. He's the one who carries my parents' Christmas tree up from the basement or remembers to buy my Mom a cake.

Me: Ah, the stupid-but-nice thing.

Anne: There is no smart-and-nice. And to be fair to Joe, there's no way Nicholle could have married a guy smarter than her.

Me: Yeah, with Stephen Hawkings being unavailable and all.

Nicki: Didn't his wife try to kill him?

Me: Yeah! Whatever became of that?

Nicki: I don't know. It was probably thrown out because, I don't care if he's crippled, he's still a man and therefore probably deserved it.

Me: His wife was like, "God, can't you pick up your own underwear just once?!"

Anne: Oh, my God! Speaking of making the case for stupid-but-nice!

Nicki: Doesn't he have that little cyborg claw thing?
