Great lines to start a conversation

Doug here:

So Sandy looks at me the other day and says, "Have I ever told you the story about my dad and the prostitute?"

(It's not what you think, she was referring to the time she heard the word on TV at age seven and he had to explain to her what it meant).

Which was only topped by the time my friend Lisa was interning as a victim's advocate for the Denver Police Department and told me, "I had to miss out on a double homicide because my Dad was graduating from clown school that day."

That one was just like it sounded.
