Money is: "not all that matters" [Good job, Will!]
People who live in glass houses shouldn't: "be teased"

Chewing Gum
(Actual Conversation. Setting: living room)
Funny Neighbor Kid: Hey Joe!
Joe: (in the middle of changing a poopy diaper). Hello, (Funny Neighbor Kid's name).
FNK: So....Did you cut off the tip of baby Zach's penis when he was born?
Joe: (Holding back shocked laughter) Well, kind of, but not exactly. It's called 'circumcision.'
FNK: I heard that's where chewing gum comes from.
