Even funny on the phone

Wow, not as long of a wait for an update this time. So I just chatted with Chris by phone and he had some great zingers that I fortunately was able to write down. Christmas is coming up, which means a week of skiing with the familia, so I hope to get a lot more this year.

(After a detailed discussion on the uselessness of stemless martini glasses)
Me: I forget that you're a purist when it comes to martinis. Real martinis are gin and vodka, right?
Chris: Gin and vodka is called throwing up and passing out.

(Background: My parents wanted to start drinking more, so they regularly open a bottle of wine with dinner. It never gets finished and I always end up throwing out many bottles of vinegar when I come home)
Me: I think it's kind of wrong that we waste so much wine in our house. There is absolutely no reason why a family of three or four can't finish a bottle of wine in one evening. When Scott or Lindsey come to visit we finish two bottles in one night just between the two of us.
Chris: Tina, two of those people are Mom and Dad. They're equivalent to one toddler.
