Inside Jokes

While talking on the phone with a friend last night, she signed off by saying "chin chin," making me laugh. After hanging up, I started to think about how lucky I am to have several close friends and how many of us have our own inside jokes -- most have been on-going for years. Here are some of my favorites.

Leslie: "Quad."

Betsy: " 'Member when we got those tattoos?"

Sheila: "We're not in Kansas any more."

John: "You don't need ice."

Dawn: "Yeah, butt."

Sarah: "Chin chin, then dance."

Paul: "Thanks, Frank."

What makes them so amusing is that none of them are what they seem. I'm not sure if they're really funny or that I find them so because I love my friends so much. I suppose it doesn't matter. They make life better.

How about you and yours?
