During Thanksgiving, one of my relatives (by marriage, thank goodness: aunt's husband's sister) set her napkin on fire. Her solution? She starts blowing on it.
My dad (in a whisper to my mother and me: You know, I would have gotten a glass of water to dump on it, but I was having too much fun watching.
This is only semi-related, but funny nonetheless.
My mom: Yeah! You should have seen her husband! Like it or not, Doris was the looker in the family.
(Later)
I don't remember exactly how the quote went, so this is paraphrased:
Mom: Most Mexicans swear in Spanish.
Me: Most grandmothers swear in Yiddish.
