Small Sack
At work, a middle aged customer bought some snacks and asked if I had a "Small sack." In my mind, I had already responded, "Well, it is a pretty cold day," but my lips refused to oblige.
It's probably for the best since the customer looked like he works for the FBI and has no sense of humor.

I replied to a cadet's E-mail about her upcoming absence. My original response was, "I hope your new step-mom doesn't turn out to be evil." I decided against it. Captain Perebinossoff, however, approves of her leave of absence.

Someone cuts you off on the road, smash their windshield and post about it on Facebook. Seems logical for a psychopath or a lying liar who lies.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION: Box of Chocolates
THE X-FILES (1996) - "MUSINGS OF A CIGARETTE SMOKING MAN"
The video above was created by a student named Miranda Roper for a class project. The video only contains about half of monologue because Roper didn't finish her video. Since I can't find a video of the entire scene, here's a transcript of the full monologue which was performed by William B. Davis in the season four episode.
"Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast and the taste is ... fleeting. So, you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. And if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers."
