I used a Brokieism last weekend:
Jens and his father fixed new curtain rails for our living toom. My FIL was standing on a stool, holding the curtain rail up with both hands for me to judge if it's in the right place. When it was, I said: "That's it, keep it like that and mark it with a pencil."
FIL: "Well..." looking at the pencil in his front pocket.
Me: "If you had three hands you could."
Since I said the Brokieism in English, the poor man was somewhat confused.
