The worst time to have a heart attack is during a game of charades.

Meaning of the quote

The quote suggests that having a heart attack during a game of charades would be a particularly bad time. This is because during charades, people are often acting out words or phrases without speaking, and a medical emergency like a heart attack would make it very difficult to communicate and continue the game. The unexpected nature of a heart attack would also disrupt the fun and laughter of the game, making it a highly inconvenient and unfortunate time for such an event to occur.

I noticed that there are no B batteries. I think that’s to avoid confusion, cause if there were you wouldn’t know if someone was stuttering. ‘Yes, hello I’d like some b-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries!’ and D-batteries that’s hard for foreigners. ‘Yes, I would like de batteries.’

I love women, but I feel like you can’t trust some of them. Some of them are liars, you know? Like I was in the park and I met this girl, she was cute and she had a dog. And I went up to her, we started talking. She told me her dog’s name. Then I said, ‘Does he bite?’ She said, ‘No.’ And I said, ‘Oh yeah? Then how does he eat?’ Liar.
