OK, I've just remembered I've got quite a few. Here's one:
Last summer, I was vacationing with a couple of my friends in another friends house by the sea. We accidentally broke a toilet window which has already been busted, but was holding together. A large chunk of glass fell out but it didn't brake. The friend we were staying with said we had to buy glue(this is teh first dumb idea! How can you glue back a piece of glass into a hole from which it fell out if the pieces had already fallen a millimeter, and expect to do it with the glue on the edges). We said yes *wink*. The next day, which was day 5 of our staying, and we were planning to stay for 7 days, me and that friend were out on the porch in the evening when I said "How are we going to get the money to go out?" because we were broke. The friend replied "You give three kune(our currency. 1 kuna is about 0.16 $), Bero gives three kune and G gives three kune and you buy the damn glue!". It took me a good second to realise what the hell he was talking about and then I replied "Yes, but now, today, this night! What are we going to do today!?". He coldbloodedly replied "You idiot! You'll get the glue TOMORROW!"
