Rejection via sandwich

Guy: No one's ever turned my down by giving me a fake phone number. I've just ended up making a lot of calls to Quizno's...

-Party

That's one idea.

[A large, extended family is having dinner. Everyone is awkwardly silent.]
Man [suddenly]: Well, we could pick somebody and do an intervention.

Omnomnommm.

Guy: I don't think I want to quit eating until I get some meatloaf.

...and now for what's happening in your neck of the woods.

Guy: Do you remember back in September when Russia invaded Georgia?
Girl: Yes.
Guy: Yeah, when I heard that I was freaking out because I thought Russia had invaded the Georgia in the United States. A week later, I saw a map of Russia and Georgia on the television and figured out that Georgia was also a country... haha.
Girl: You went for a week thinking that the Russians had invaded Atlanta?!
Guy: Yeah, I just figured it was not a very big invasion. I thought that if it had been significant, it would have been on the Today show!

Girl 1: I can make mashed potatoes.
Girl 2: ...and I'll bring dressing!
Guy: I'll bring the cranberry sauce... and the coffee, because we all know how the pilgrims loved to sit around and drink coffee with Sasquatch.

The thought that counts.

[Girl is in the hospital after having her appendix removed, and her boyfriend comes to visit.]
Guy: Aww... I'm so sorry you're feeling bad.
Girl: Thanks...
Guy: I went to go get you some flowers, but then I saw how much they cost and decided I need gas money more.

No sense.

[Family eating at dinner table.]
Guy: Hey Mom, don't you think it'd be ironic if this guy Sonny was always thinking about something so that he had a gray cloud that followed him over his head?! I think that'd be pretty ironic...
Mom: Hmm... Seems to me that if he was always thinking something he'd have a lightbulb instead.
[Family eats in silence for a few seconds.]
Guy: No, that really just doesn't make any sense at all.
