"is it going to hurt it if we keep running it like that?" (high pressure diesel fuel inj pump flopping around)
"its 'distressed' apples" (apples were mush before they even made it out of the bins)
"we plugged the decanter up on tank bottoms three times last night"
"the 400 horse motor threw flames, lets try starting it again"

i've heard plenty, some have a back story that would have to be known first.

I work at Target and we use walkie talkies... one of the tool bosses was calling for a girl in the clothing department and no one answered... so she starting calling for Helen Keller instead of the girl's name.

I have more, but like Klitch too time consuming to write and you would need to know the back of the story

A buddy's old boss:
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

One time, I had a boss look at me while writing me up and say "How do you spell "insubordination"?

This sounds like loads of fun...... let me try!

"I think it's fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry. Number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly - in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And number three - what I think we know separate and apart from this incident - is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that's just a fact."
