B: I like that. Let’s stay three nights.

New Sheets
A: I’m not sleeping here tonight.
B: What’s the matter? This is a nice room.

B: What’s wrong with the bed?
A: Look at this sheet.
B: Yes?
A: See those stains?
B: I sure do.
A: I’m not sleeping on that sheet.

The Airport

A: What time does your plane leave?
B: It leaves at 12:15.
A: When do you have to be at the airport?
B: I have to be there two hours early.
A: So we have to be at the airport at 10:15.
B: That means we have to leave the house at 9:15.
A: Well, it’s an hour to get there, if there are no traffic problems.
B: So maybe we better leave at 8:15?
A: Yes, it’s better to get there too early than too late.

A Christmas Flight

A: I need to fly to New York.
B: When are you going?
A: During the Christmas holidays.
B: You’d better buy your ticket now.
A: You must be kidding.
B: No, I’m not. It’s March. Time is running out. Seats are selling out right now.
A: I thought I would wait until October.
B: I’ll bet this is the first time you’ve ever flown during Christmas.
A: You’re right.
B: Well, listen to me. You need to buy a ticket now.
A: But maybe prices will be cheaper in October.
B: Cheaper prices won’t do you any good if there are no seats.
Fear of Flying

A: I hate flying.
B: So do I.
A: A long time ago, flying used to be okay.
B: Now it’s like riding a bus.
A: You’re jammed in with people all around you.

Row Your Boat

B: Good for him.
A: Why would he do that?
B: Did he set a new record?
A: Yes, I think he did.
B: Well, I guess that’s why he did it.
A: What’s the point?
B: Now he has the world record!
A: But someone’s going to break it, so what good is it?
B: Well, he can enjoy it while it lasts.
A: I don’t think he even got paid for it.
B: Some people do it just to do it.


A Cruise

A: I want to go on a cruise ship.
B: That sounds like fun. Where do you want to go?
A: I want to cruise to Hawaii.
B: That should be a nice trip. Lots of fun, and lots of food.
A: I have no idea how much it will cost.
B: I think it depends on the season and on your cabin.
A: Well, of course I want to go when the weather is nice.
B: Yes, you don’t want to travel in winter storms.
A: And I want to get a big cabin with a view.
B: Are you going to travel alone?
A: No, my sister and I will travel together.
B: Well, you should go online and try to find a good deal.

Prepare for Takeoff

A: I hate to fly.
B: Because of all the security?
A: No, because it hurts my ears.
B: What do you mean?
A: Every time we land or take off, my ears hurt so much.
B: That’s just the altitude change, I think.
A: Whatever it is, it hurts.
B: Can’t you take medicine or something for it?
A: I’ve tried everything, but nothing works.
B: Have you tried earplugs?
A: They don’t work, either.
B: Well, be glad you’re not a pilot.


The Grand Canyon

A: Spring break starts tomorrow.
B: Are you going to go anywhere?
A: I was thinking of driving to Arizona.
B: To the Grand Canyon?
A: Yes. I've never been there.
B: I was there when I was a kid.
A: How did you like it?
B: I loved it. I still remember how amazing it was.
A: I'm sure I'll like it, too.
B: You should try riding a mule on a trail to the bottom.
A: No way! I don't want to fall to my death.
B: Don't worry. Only one person has ever fallen off a mule.

Hotel Hell

A: That hotel was terrible.
B: The worst in the whole world.
A: The walls were so thin.
B: All day long we heard TVs or telephones.
A: All night long we heard people snoring.
B: Housekeeping didn't give us fresh towels.
A: Room service brought us a cold dinner.
B: Our nonsmoking room stunk of cigarette smoke.
A: Our room was right next to the elevator and the ice machine.
B: They added phony charges to our bill.
A: How did we end up in that terrible hotel?
B: The travel agent gave us a 50-percent discount!

A Long Day
A: I have to hang up. I’m so sleepy.
B: It’s not even 10 o’clock.
A: I’m falling asleep on the phone.
B: You got up real early.
A: I had to take my friend to the airport.
B: Why didn’t you take a nap when you got home?
A: I didn’t get home until 30 minutes ago.
B: Why is that?
A: There was a bomb threat at the airport.
B: Only a threat?
A: Yes, but I was stuck there all day while they looked for the bomb.
B: Someday the bomb is going to be for real.

A Free Trip

A: My dad went to Washington, D.C.
B: Why did he do that?
A: He was invited, along with about 90 other veterans.
B: Who invited them?
A: Some private organization.
B: Why did they invite him?
A: To thank him and all the other soldiers who served in World War II.
B: That’s very nice.
A: My dad got to see the beautiful new World War II Monument.
B: That trip must have cost a lot of money.
A: He said all the money came from private donations.


Serving Your Country

A: That was a great trip to Washington, D.C.
B: Tell me about it, Dad.
A: About 90 of us World War II veterans got on the plane at 8 a.m.
B: How long was the flight?
A: It only took about two hours.
B: Did you take pictures at the World War II Monument?
A: Oh, yes. We all took lots of pictures.
B: Then you flew back home that evening?
A: Yes. When we landed, TV reporters and the Army band were there.
B: That must have made you feel really special.
A: Oh, it did. There were about 300 people there to honor us.
B: Well, you all deserve it. You helped save our country.

About Food

A Good Salad

A: I love salads.
B: Me too.
A: I usually eat a simple salad.
B: What do you put in it?
A: Just lettuce, tomato, and celery.
B: That’s it?
A: I add some pepper and salt.
B: I always put cheese in my salads.
A: Yes, cheese is nice.
B: What kind of dressing do you use?
A: I pour lots of French dressing on top.
B: Me too. French dressing is so delicious! Who cares about calories?

We Get Cheese from Cows
A: I love cheese.
B: Me too.
A: Where does cheese come from?
B: It comes from cows.
A: So we get cheese from cows, and we get milk, too?
B: Yes, we do.
A: What else do we get from cows?
B: We get hamburgers and steak.
A: Oh, that’s so delicious.
B: We also get leather.
A: We get a lot of things from cows, don’t we?
B: Yes. A cow is man’s best friend.

I Used to Work in a Deli

A: I used to work in a deli.
B: How did you like it?
A: I loved it!
B: Did you get free food?
A: I ate free cheese and meat every day.
B: That sounds like a great job.
A: Whatever a customer ordered, I sliced off a little more for me.
B: Did you get fat?
A: No, but I did put on a few pounds.
B: That sounds like a dream job.
A: It was, until one day my manager caught me.
B: No more free cheese for you, huh?

A New Diet
A: I’m on a new diet.
B: What are you eating now?
A: I switched from pasta to potatoes.
B: Why did you do that?
A: Pasta is processed food. Potatoes are natural food.
B: Natural food has more vitamins.
A: And it’s just as easy to prepare.
B: How do you prepare the potatoes?
A: I wash them, and then steam them for 15 minutes.
B: That’s pretty simple.
A: Then I add butter, salt, and pepper.
B: Can I have all those cans of tomato sauce you bought for your pasta?

Same Old Diet
A: I eat the same thing every day.
B: You’re kidding.
A: No, I’m serious.
B: Doesn’t that get old?
A: No, because I’m eating food that I like.
B: But the same thing day after day gets old.
A: Well, I guess if it ever does get old, I’ll change to something different.
B: Do you eat fruits and vegetables every day?
A: No, I hate vegetables.
B: But you eat fruits.
A: I eat two apples, one banana, and one orange every day.
B: Well, there’s nothing wrong with that.

A Pink Orange
A: There’s something wrong with my orange.
B: What’s wrong?
A: It’s not orange!
B: Your orange isn’t orange?
A: No, it’s dark pink!
B: Are you sure? I never heard of such a thing.
A: I just peeled it, and I’m looking at it right now.
B: Let me see. Yes, you’re right. Your orange is pink.
A: Who ever heard of such a thing?
B: Oh, look. Here’s the little sticker that was on it. It’s called a Pink Navel.
A: What is this world coming to?
B: Who knows? Maybe soon we’ll have pink bananas.

Roasted or Boiled
A: I love peanuts.
B: Me, too. I love them roasted and salted.
A: I love boiled peanuts.
B: Boiled? I never heard of that.
A: Just boil raw peanuts in salt water until the shells are soft.
B: I’ll have to try them sometime.
A: They’re best when they’re hot.
B: My brother is allergic to peanuts.
A: That’s not good.
B: No, it isn’t. He almost died when he was little.
A: I guess he has to be very careful about what he eats.
B: He has a very strict diet.

A Pound a Week
A: I’m gaining weight.
B: How much have you gained?
A: Three pounds just this month.
B: Do you know why?
A: I think it’s the ice cream.
B: You started eating ice cream?
A: It was on sale.
B: How much did you buy?
A: I filled up my freezer with ice cream.
B: Well, it won’t last forever.
A: No, I figure I’ll finish it all by next week.
B: Then you can start losing weight, if there isn’t another sale.

No More for Me

A: I'm stuffed.
B: Of course you are. You ate everything on the table.
A: I don't like to eat leftovers.
B: I'm glad to hear there's something you don't like to eat.
A: I like my food hot and fresh.
B: You like to see it disappear.
A: I don't like it reheated.
B: Well, you'll have hot fresh food tomorrow night.
A: I'm so full I'm going to burst.
B: You should loosen your belt.
A: I already loosened my belt and unbuttoned my
pants.
B: Well, don't stand up, please.

Don’t Be Lazy

A: I saw what you did.
B: I didn’t do anything.
A: Oh yes, you did.
B: What are you talking about?
A: You know what I’m talking about.
B: I don’t have any idea.
A: You know what you did.
B: Maybe I know, but how could you know?
A: Because I was watching you.
B: Okay, I’m sorry I did it.
A: Don’t drink milk out of the carton. Use a glass!
B: I promise I’ll never drink out of the carton again.

A New Diet
A: I’m on a new diet.
B: What are you eating now?
A: I switched from pasta to potatoes.
B: Why did you do that?
A: Pasta is processed food. Potatoes are natural food.
B: Natural food has more vitamins.
A: And it’s just as easy to prepare.
B: How do you prepare the potatoes?
A: I wash them, and then steam them for 15 minutes.
B: That’s pretty simple.
A: Then I add butter, salt, and pepper.
B: Can I have all those cans of tomato sauce you bought for your pasta?
HOUSING
A New House
A: I really like this house.
B: Can we afford it?
A: They want 20 percent down.
B: That’s a lot of money.
A: But the house is so nice.
B: It’s in a great neighborhood.
A: It’s close to the beach.
B: It’s close to the freeways.
A: It’s got a big yard.
B: The kids love the house, too.
A: If we don’t buy it, someone else will.
B: You’re right. Let’s buy it now. We can worry later.
We Can't Afford This House
A: We can’t afford this house.
B: Are you sure?
A: We will be house rich, but cash poor.
B: What do you mean?
A: Our monthly payments will be too high.
B: We won’t have any money for other things?
A: No, we won’t have money for gas or food.
B: We’ll be eating peanut butter sandwiches?
A: Without the peanut butter!
B: That’s no good!
A: We have to find a cheaper house.
B: Of course. We can’t live without gas or peanut butter.
On the Corner
A: That is a beautiful house.
B: I don’t like it.
A: What’s the matter with it?
B: It’s on the corner.
A: So?
B: That means it gets twice as much traffic.
A: You’re right.
B: When you’re inside, you will always hear cars stopping and stopping at the intersection.
A: Or you’ll hear the collision if someone doesn’t stop.
B: Or you’ll see the collision if they crash into the house.
A: Let’s find a house that’s at the end of a dead end.
B: That’s perfect. The less traffic, the better.

A Great Apartment
A: I hate looking for an apartment.
B: Me, too.
A: We have a 2 o’clock appointment to see the one on Main Street.
B: We’d better get ready to go.
A: It’s an upstairs unit.
B: That’s good, because I don’t want to live under people with loud feet.
A: And it’s a corner unit.
B: That’s great. We won’t have neighbors on both sides of us.
A: No pets are allowed.
B: Perfect. We don’t have to listen to barking dogs.
A: And there are only six units in the whole building.
B: Where’s the checkbook? I’m ready to rent it without even seeing it.
Fix the Doorbell
A: Did you call the manager?
B: Yes. He said he’d come over tomorrow.
A: Did he say what time?
B: Yes. He said he’d be here at 9 o’clock.
A: Did he understand what the problem is?
B: Yes. I told him our doorbell doesn’t work.
A: It shouldn’t take him long to fix it.
B: I don’t even know why we need to fix it.
A: In case we have visitors.
B: But they can just knock on the door.
A: Actually, I want him to look at our carpet, too.
B: Yes, it would be nice if he’d give us a new carpet.

Almost Perfect
A: Do you like this house?
B: Yes, it’s beautiful.
A: It’s perfect for us and the kids.
B: Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a big back yard.
A: And we can afford it!
B: So are we going to buy it?
A: I’m afraid not.
B: It’s too far from your job, isn’t it?
A: I can’t spend four hours on the road every day.
B: By the time you get home, you’ll be too tired to even eat.
A: I won’t be able to play with the kids.
B: No, we have to find something closer to your job.

Almost Perfect
A: Boy, it’s chilly outside, isn’t it?
B: It sure is
A: In fact, it’s chilly in the apartment, too.
B: Let’s turn on the heat.
A: I’ll check to make sure that all the windows are shut.
B: It should be warmer in a few minutes.
A: It’s so nice to have a heated apartment.
B: How did they survive in the old days?
A: They had fireplaces.
B: Someone had to chop the wood.
A: And carry it into the house.
B: All we have to do is flip a switch.
Sell Now
A: This is a nice neighborhood.
B: The streets are clean and quiet.
A: The neighbors don’t party on the weekends.
B: People take care of their lawns.
A: No rusty old cars are sitting in the front yards.
B: We never have to call the police about anything.
A: Our kids are completely safe.
B: So why are we selling our house?
A: They’re building a 3-story apartment building on the corner.
B: So we’ve got to sell before property values go down?
A: Yes. I still can’t believe our city council allowed this building.
B: They’re probably getting something under the table.

Who Cares?
A: That was a huge fire in Santa Barbara.
B: Yes, it was.
A: They said about 30 houses burned to the ground.
B: And they were expensive houses.
A: I feel so sorry for those people.
B: Why feel sorry for rich people?
A: I feel sorry for anyone who loses their home.
B: So do I, but not if they’re rich.
A: What does that have to do with it?
B: Rich people think they’re better than us.
A: How many rich people do you know?
B: None.

Hungry Bears
A: Bears are invading our neighborhoods.
B: Of course they are. They’re starving to death.
A: They should stay in the woods where they belong.
B: There’s no food in the woods.
A: Can’t they eat grass?
B: Do you think a bear is a cow?
A: Well, I’ve seen them eating berries.
B: Berries aren’t in season all year round.
A: It’s too dangerous for kids and pets.
B: People need to cover their trash cans.
A: The police need to shoot all the bears.
B: You don’t solve a problem by shooting it.

SHOPPING

I Like That Shirt
A: I like that shirt.
B: So do I.
A: How much is it?
B: I don’t know. The tag is missing.
A: Ask the clerk.
B: I will.
A: Oh, look. Here’s another shirt just like it.
B: Does it have a price tag?
A: Yes, it does. It’s only $20.
B: That’s a great price.
A: I think I’ll buy both of them.
B: You’d better try them on first.
Pants That Fit
A: I bought you a pair of pants.
B: Thank you.
A: I hope they fit.
B: I hope you kept the receipt.
A: You think they won’t fit?
B: I think I’ve put on some weight.
A: You think?
B: Maybe a pound or two.
A: Maybe four or five pounds?
B: My waist is bigger than it was.
A: No problem. These pants have an elastic waistband.
B: You are so smart!


The Shopping List
A: What do we need to buy?
B: Let me look at our list.
A: I know that we need milk.
B: Nonfat.
A: Of course. What else?
B: We need cheese, bread, and ham.
A: What kind of cheese?
B: Swiss.
A: Of course, the cheese with holes in it.
B: I never used to buy Swiss cheese.
A: Why not?
B: I didn’t want to pay for the holes.

Poor Pockets
A: I need some pants.
B: I thought you just bought a pair.
A: I did.
B: What’s wrong with them so soon?
A: The pants are fine, but the pocket has a huge hole in it.
B: You shouldn’t carry your keys and pens in your pocket.
A: But that’s what pockets are for.
B: You should carry them in a purse.
A: I’m a man, and men don’t carry purses!
B: Well, you should buy pants with stronger pockets.
A: I would if I could find someone who makes strong pockets.
B: Try a Google search online.

Wipe Everything
A: What are those wipes for?
B: You use them to wipe the handle of the shopping cart.
A: That’s a great idea.
B: Yes, all the markets just started offering wipes to shoppers.
A: I’m going to take five wipes.
B: What do you need five of them for?
A: One to wipe the handle, and the others to wipe the produce.
B: What’s the matter with the produce?
A: Do you think the bananas fell from the sky?
B: What do you mean?
A: I mean, someone used their dirty hands to pick the bananas, the apples, and the oranges.
B: Well, you better save a wipe for the dirty dollar bills you’re going to pay with.

The 99 Cents Store
A: Did you go to the 99 Cents store?
B: Yes, I did.
A: What did you buy?
B: Well, I got a lot of good deals, as usual.
A: Like what?
B: Well, a dozen large eggs were only 99 cents.
A: That’s a good deal.
B: And a one-pound tub of soft butter was the same price.
A: Another good deal.
B: But the best deal was five pounds of potatoes for 99 cents.
A: I don’t know how that store makes money.
B: Neither do I, but they’re doing something right.

PC or Mac?
 A: I need a new computer.
B: What’s the matter with yours?
A: It’s six years old.
B: That’s pretty old.
A: It still works, but I’m going to give it to a charity.
B: Are you going to buy a desktop or laptop?
A: Oh, a laptop, of course.
B: A PC or a Mac?
A: I haven’t decided yet.
B: More and more people are using Macs.
A: But 90 percent of the world uses PCs.
B: And that’s not going to change anytime soon.

Bad Business
A: I got ripped off.
B: What happened?
A: I had a car problem, so I went online.
B: Did you find a solution?
A: Yes, I did. A site I went to said they would send me the solution.
B: So, what’s the problem?
A: I sent them $20 using my credit card, but they never sent me the solution.
B: What are you going to do?
A: I sent them an email asking for my money back.
B: Have you heard from them?
A: Not yet. It’s been a week.
B: Well, I guess that’s a $20 lesson for you.

Sharpen the Pencil

A: Where’s the pencil sharpener?
B: Which one?
A: Any one. I need to sharpen this pencil.
B: I think there’s one on the dining room table.
A: I already looked there.
B: Did you look in the desk drawer?
A: Yes, I looked there, too.
B: Don’t we have about five sharpeners?
A: Yes, but they seem to have legs.
B: Tomorrow I’m going to buy an electric sharpener.
A: Get one with the rubber suction cups on the bottom.
B: Yes. That way it will stay where I put it.

To save Money

A: I’m trying to stretch my dollars.
B: How are you doing that?
A: I started shopping at the dollar store.
B: That saves a lot of money.
A: I bought three pounds of potatoes for a dollar.
B: That’s a good deal.
A: Yes, even though some of the potatoes had eyes.
B: Just put them in the fridge.
A: Also, I bought a can of cheap coffee and a bag of good coffee.
B: Why did you do that?
A: I mixed them together.
B: If the coffee still tastes okay, that’s a good idea.
