        -- El (Claudia) realized, given everyone in the room played ultimate,
           including one who had knee surgery 3 days earlier and the host
           had ACL surgery 3.5 months ago, that she needed to qualify her
           assessment (January 2026).

"There're two pieces of Popeye's Chicken, if anyone wants Popeye's Chicken."
  "Where's it from?"
"Popeye's."
        -- Alan wasn't being sarcastic, and Ray just answered the question, 
           unintentially channeling Abbot and Costello (January 2026).

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to steal your blood."
        -- Questionable reassurance from a phlebotomist.  She pocketed
           the vial to protect it from the light (March 2026).

"It was hailed as a final solution.  But now police are healing AI as
the final soution.  So we always have a final solution."
        -- Phrasing!  I glanced over at someone else whose eyebrows 
           were equally raised.  The keynote was talking about how 
           the latest technology is always pitched as something that 
           will fix everything for police, whether it was computers 
           in the 1970s or AI in the 2020s.  And while fluent in 
           English, she might not have been aware of the historical
           baggage associated with that two-word phrase (March 2026).

That is a great summary of AI.  It can build all this cool, complex
stuff (based on existing cool, complex stuff), but it'll still recommend
the 100% accurate "prediction" of what your blood sugar is right now.

"Oh, you needed to take that exit."
        -- Moof tells Frank about using AI to build a program to provide
