Best one line AIM quote EVER

The setup:

Back when I was a pretentious fourteen-year-old taking French I, I briefly began saying "Salut!" instead of "Hi!" to members of my family. Oddly, my mom took to this like a house afire (at least, once I explained it). To this day, my mom, my brother Danny, and even my dad now say "Salut!" instead of any other applicable greeting when we talk to each other.

(In bunny talk, this is rendered "Thawoo!" Bunnies speak French too, apparently.)

The joke:

Today, I told my mom to get on AIM so I could send her a link. She greeted me thusly:

Bwahahaha! That's hilarious!

Something about parents and IM just seems....wrong, sometimes.

Hah! That's hilarious. Did she express remorse for the typo? :D

*grin* My friends and I have a habit of greeting each other with pseudo-French names. "Salut Jean-Merde!" "Salut, Marie-Batard!"

It's unaccountably amusing to call someone Mary Bastard. I don't know why.

My dad does that too. At least now he does it only at the end of the conversation instead of after every post. He still can't grasp the concept that this is a "conversation", and tries to write a whole small letter with every post hehehe

Perhaps
