A while back I was babysitting for a friend of mine and as he was leaving, I asked how long he'd be gone.
Him: A couple of hours.
Me: A couple of hours what does that mean?
Him: You know, a couple.
Me: Yeah but what time exactly?
He gets frustrated.
Him: A couple! A couple is 3, a few is 2!
Me: Then why didn't you just say 3 hours??!!
Same thing happened last night when I was listening to Mike Francesa talk about Mickey Mantle's stats during a doubleheader some 50+ years ago, I don't remember what year. He's reading the box score, and it's:
"4 for 5, one homer...a coupla rbis..."
"A couple"? You're reading the box score! There is LITERALLY a number showing EXACTLY how many rbis he had!!!!!! (head explodes)
