Sometimes, my mother is such an amazing source of unintentional comic relief. She just IMed me to tell me how cool it is that the building she has to mail my housing deposit for next year to is the same building where I currently live. Which is cool, except that the address she mentioned is a good 10-15 blocks from where I live. She then proceeded to blame her confusion on the fact that both addresses have the same zip code.
"There was this one time an alarm went off - it was in the middle of '24.' That's just wrong. Everyone knows everyone was watching '24' at that time."
--NYU student quoted in the Washington Square News about students ignoring the frequent fire alarms in dorms
