It was yesterday (just after lunch) when my co-worker, Uncle Ray was putting outlet/light switch templates back on. Here is the first instance of dialogue:
Uncle Ray: "Where are the screws for that open plate over there?"
Myself: "They're the longer ones in that container you have."
Uncle Ray: "Ah, the ultra long screw size."
Myself: "Yep, Ultra long!" (making fun of the adjective used)
My Boss: "*chuckle* "That's what she said." (referring to Uncle Ray's comment and possibly mine)
Myself: *Laughing out loud*
Uncle Ray: *laughing* "Nope, that's what we wish to hear!"
Myself: *Laughing out LOUDER*
Today at lunch, a life lesson from Ray surfaced. Here is the second instance of dialogue:
Uncle Ray: *showing me a picture of a Triumph bike in the Winnipeg Sun*
Myself: "Ah, nice bike."
Uncle Ray: "Yep, she's a beauty."
... Sometime, later on in the conversation...
Uncle Ray (who has his bike license): "What really kills you is the insurance."
Myself: "Ya, you mentioned that last week."
Uncle Ray: "Yep." *he goes back to eating from his massive container of yogurt*
... Sometime, later on in the conversation...
Uncle Ray: "It's not about the speed for me, like most guys. They want to get to their destination as fast as they can. I bike because I enjoy the ride on the way to where I'm going."
Myself: "Cool, that actually makes a lot of sense."
Uncle Ray: "The journey is my destination..."
Myself: *laugh out LOUD* "Wow, Life lessons with RAY!"
Life Lesson: The journey is your destination.
Ah, Uncle Ray never ceases to amaze me! He gets more unreal with each passing day! Here is the dialogue of instance number three:
Myself (putting back shelves on the wall): "Ah shoot, we have to put the other one up first!"
Uncle Ray: *deeply inhales and then exhales by motor boating his lips*
Myself: *laugh out loud* "Donald Duck!" (he does that doesn't he? Anyways it reminded me of Donald Duck)
Uncle Ray: *starts speaking like Donald Duck*!!!!!!
Myself: *LAUGH OUT LOUDEST* (I also joined in on the Donald Duck speech)
There you go! You want to meet Uncle Ray, don't you?!
