(Two dudes bro-hug, talk about one of the dudes being home from college, and how life has been going since high school.)

Dude A:
You just getting back into working out?
-
Dude B:
No man, I've just been losing size. I don't wanna do the hard stuff, you know?
-
Dude A:
Oh right! I forgot, you use that stuff. I read there's some law against it now?
-
Dude B:
Yeah, I'm gonna be waiting for a while before they pass a bill to make it legal again. I got a pharmacist who knows all about it and is helping me out, but I'm gonna have to wait until February until I can get anything.

(A dude walks past the row where I'm packing up my stuff in the locker room twice before going to a locker on the other side.)

Dude (to his friend):
Seriously think that stuff affects your memory 'cause I forgot where I put my stuff like five times today.

His friend:
You're just stupid, dude.

(They come out just ahead of me as I leave. The dude steps in one direction to the parking lot, stops, turns, steps in the other direction, stops, turns.)

Dude:
Sh**, now where did I park?

Kid:

Dude A:
So she was like, you can either stay here and fail the test and we can do it again, or you can go study for your stupid chem test.
-
-
Dude A:
I was like, "Man, I really need this right now," but I have to pass the test, too. So I waited a couple seconds.

Dude A:
Then she started crying, so I left.

(Two girls are getting water before heading out after running.)

Girl A:
When he came in, I jumped up to cut his hair. He was so hot.

Girl B:
What was he like?
-
Girl A:
He was like like one of the Nsync guys.

Girl B:

-
Girl B:
Yeah. That's the gay one.
