For context, I'm American and my wife is from NZ.
At a point when we were long distance and having a Skype call, she made a comment about it sucking how far apart we were.
I said, "I blame Pangaea. Just couldn't keep it together!"
I laughed so hard at my own joke that she hung up on me.
We've been married seven years now, and I have yet to top that one.

I like the ‘Interrupting starfish’ version where you hold your hand up in a ‘stop’ gesture at a polite distance from their face. with your fingers as wide apart as possible. :D

MY TIME HAS COME!
Did you hear that police forces are replacing old police dogs with young police cats? It's apparently an upgrade from K-9s to K-10s.
I have talent for identifying birds. To be fair it's usually pretty easy. If it's got a beak and wings it's a bird.
I'm trying to figure out who stole one of my boardgames. It's not the end of the world, but I literally don't have a Clue.
I got a book of 101 uses for WD-40. It's non-friction.

I worked in 3/4 parks, mostly in attractions. Started in 07 on Sunset at Studios, working Tower and Coaster. then became a pirate at The Pirate's League from around 2010-2012, and did a brief stint at Epcot at The Seas.
I haven't worked for Disney since 2016 but I still live near the parks and frequent them. Congrats on making it through Disney food service, I don't think I'd have the fortitude to last long there. When did you serve?

You were proper Disney then! I did a semester of the Disney College Program in 2010. Met my wife there's too. Started as housekeeping at the Polynesian, was utterly awful but they liked me, and they transferred me to Magic Kingdom after that.
Honestly wasn't that bad. Hours weren't terrible, fellow cast members were great. Boss even let me keep a 5 dollar tip, a thing we were explicitly told not to take.
But after that semester, the chance for extending it came up, and I was so done. I don't think I've ever been more tired.
Man, you got around. I really would've liked to work at Epcot in retrospect. Such a cool place.

I masterfully presented this to my son over a period of weeks. What's a pirate's favourite letter?
Week 1: R! (Arrrrrrrrgh matey)
Week 2 he says "R!" and I say, no his first love is the "C".
Week 3 he says "The C" and I say, no "X" because X marks the spot.
Week 4 he says "X" and I say no, "P" because without it he's just Irate.
Week 5 he says, "I dunno, X? C. P! R? Shut up!" and I say "Well it's actually F, but since you're not interested I won't tell you why."
There's no answer for F. It drove him bananas for a week.

The blood Vampire asks "why didn't you order blood too, are you alright?"
His friend pulls a used tampon out of his pocket, turns and says "it's OK, I bought a tea bag."
A friend of mine was out all night. He came into the kitchen at breakfast time because he had to tell me something.
"This new bar was amazing! The staff were gorgeous, great music and decent drinks. The best part is the solid gold urinals in the mens toilet!"
He was still going on about this 'amazing' bar when I hear a knock on the door. I leave him in the kitchen to answer it. It's a policeman and another gentleman I don't recognise, but looks very upset.
"Excuse me sir, would you be the gentleman who attended the Gala club last night?"
I shake my head, and ask what this is about. The policeman turns to the other guy.
"This is a musician who performed on stage at the club. He was playing saxophone when someone at this address climbed on stage and...well..."
