After Lynne's move:
SuperD: "Why'd you give your old landlord your new address?"
Lynne: "So I could get my deposit back."
Paul: "Money's a good point."

My mother was listening raptly to the radio when I walked in her abode, and she said it was a talk show on "long term care." I couldn't think of anything to reply so I said "Sounds like some high-class entertainment!" :-\

After a long time, today I used a Brokieism. :D It popped right into my head and it was the only possible comment at that moment ;D.
My daughter and her friend were talking about second names and saying that another friend (I'll call her Mary) doesn't have a second name at all.
Me: "Her folks just stopped at Mary?"
Puzzled faces around me :laugh:.

Did you say it in English, when up until then everybody was speaking German? That would add to their confusion (and the humor!).
Actually, this brings up an interesting question, in general. Chrissi, do you usually say/think your Brokieisms in English? How about you other non-native-English speakers?
