"Quotes" that were said during build season

One of our mentors (college student) had cut off the end of a Zip-tie leaving a very sharp point. I asked him to cut it off flush with the latch to make it less likely to cut someone. As he was cutting it, I was warning him about the possibility that the pointed end might fly when he cut it and to make sure he was wearing his safety glasses.
His response:
"What good are those? That thing just shot up my nose"!

Sure enough, two hard blows later, out it came.

After any little event in the shop: "ooooh , I wanted to see it go boom!

While programming our robot this year:

Me: Ok, I didn't tell it to do that. (Looking back at code) Oh wait ... yes I did.

after cutting off a zip tie

MENTOR:"Get the dremmel and remove the tip from that zip tie."
ME: "It's obviously sharp, no one would be stupid enough to grab it."
MENTOR:"Watch this" *Walks over and grabs the zip tie. Blood starts pouring out of the wound."
ME:"Wow, thanks for the example!"

Well, this one isnt during build season... but...

Lucy (Base driver): "10 point penalty (G22)"

We have a student who always asked if we can place some blatently rules violating piece of equipment on the robot.

Student: Hey Mr. B. can we....
Me: No
Student: Why?
Me: It Violates Rule <G2>, which is why we are renaming that to <G2, the Rule of "NO!">
