Y'ain't the only ones.

Some more recent ones from our build and drive practices:

Our workshop is a "portable building", raised a couple of feet with a boardwalk shared by five portables. Outside the workshop yesterday, two team members were talking, and I overheard:
He: If I start doing that, it's because of you.
Me, thinking: Hey, that sounds like a pretty good song title.
She: (spoken too low for me to overhear)
He: I didn't mean to touch your armpit.
Me, thinking: Now how can we work that lyric in?
(OBTW, they were about eight feet apart at the time, so I assume the armpit touching was something that happened somewhere/somewhen else.)

Why can't we put the holy pin back in? (Me, referring to a safety device on our launcher.)

Everyone who's not too busy, bring defenses and batter bits to the trailer!

What are we waiting on?
Er, um, er, WHAT ARE WE WAITING ON?

I (mentor): What does LCKR (locker) stand for?
L: (pause) I don't know.
I: Are you sure?
L: (pause) Yes, I don't know.
I: You shouldn't have been wiring the robot if you don't know.
L: I didn't know that.
I: Of course not - but who let you wire the main power cables when you don't know that Loose Connections Kill Robots?
