Unlikely, that

[ericcoleman]

I was reminded of my favorite phrase for something being very unlikely, in this case a catch phrase from Wayne's World

"And monkeys might fly out of my butt".

So, what is your favorite phrase for something that is very unlikely ???

"Maybe France will repay the war debt."

"About as far as I could comfortably spit out a rat." From Ford Prefect explaining how far he'd trust Zaphod Beeblebrox.

"the Butt Monkeys" was what i would have named my punk band, if i'd ever had a punk band. our signature song was "Monkeys are Flying out of my Butt!"

That's about as far as i got with that.

Ok ... the Butt Monkeys made me giggle ... to the point that others in the office said "what has one of your friends said now?"

Same movie:
Yeah, and if frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their ass when they hopped"

"On Highday the First", which is an LotR reference which few people get. The appendices are a necessary part of the book...

When asked about when something might happen

"The 37th of Never"

"You're shitting me."

Definitely disgusting, not to mention unlikely unless someone turns carnivorous and eats someone else. Then it would be a little more literal.

"Sure. That's totally likely."

Sometimes the simple ones are the best

"And I'm Margaret Thatcher." Alternately, "And Bush might get impeached."

When asked if I would do something that I am highly unlikely to do, I usually phrase it like so:

Not even for a night of hot sex with [female star of extremely popular movie] AND [male star of the same movie].

e.g.:

"Not even for a night of hot sex with Liv Tyler AND Vigo Mortensen!"

Or

"Not even for a night of hot sex with Kirsten Dunst AND Toby MacGuire!"

"When pigs fly."

Sometimes this comes out as variants, such as if my kids ask for something unreasonable, I may reply, "What, did a flock of pigs just fly by? Why did you think I would let you do that?"

We got a picture of some pigs with wings for Greg's room last year.

"By the second Tuesday of next week."

"I'll get back to you on that" Usually said while turning away. I rely a lot on body language for my sarcasm.

Actually, "And monkeys might fly out of my butt" IS my favorite catch phrase for something that is very unlikely.
