Feeling Lost

Person 1: “So this guy had all these verses or whatever on his stick, and…”
Person 2: confused “Huh? His stick?”
Person 3: with a knowing nod “They were on an island. Their plane crashed.”
Person 2: still skeptical “Oh… Continue.”
"Ugh. These pretzels are gross."
"Yeah, I don't know why we buy them."
"I think they kinda taste like mold."
"Let me try one.... Yuck."
next line said simultaneously by two girls
"We can feed them to the boys." "We can feed them to the birds."

Person 1: The dung smell is almost gone.
Person 2: You said dung.
Person 3: I haven't used that since 4th grade.
Person 1: What do you want me to call it?!
Person 2: Poo!
Person 3: Crap. That's a whole lot of liquid poo coming out of that tractor.
Notice person 2 and person 4 no longer add to the conversation as they are struggling to breath laughing so hard.
Person 1: You can smell the difference. It's not human, so you don't say "poo." It smells more like cow poo, chicken poo, sheep poo maybe, not horse poo, therefore it is called dung.
Person 3: I'm glad we're defining what kind of poo that was so we can tell the story later.

"How many camels do you think we can get for Sunny in Morocco?"
"Oh, I bet we can get 40!"
"If we steal her back, we can sell her multiple times."
"That's what we're doing then. We could keep the camels under the stairs in the apartment, a great ministry tools! Oh yeah, we're coming back to Rijeka with 100 camels."

"You ladies know that all of you have to dye your hair blonde like Sunny's so we can sell you in Morocco, right?"

A group text to all the women on the team:
"Do you think beards are hot?"
Responses:
"LOL, depends on the guy, but I'm rather fond of goatees."
"Yeah, I think beards are hot."
"Ha ha, um, not really."
"Ha ha only crazy mountain man beards that could potentially be used to conceal a medium sized cat (wow talk about stuff on my cat) or perhaps braided back up into the sideburns. Seriously though it depends on the person. I'll go with a tentative yes."

"I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not really.. A lot of leaves went down my pants.."
"I don't think leaves can go down your pants if your pants have fallen down. I think they are just on your butt.."
