Things that have come up at work recently:

"Is death a condition?"
"What is broader than civet cats?"
"What is a mosquito when it's not being a vector of infection?"
"Can a newborn be an audience? What about an outdoor farmers market?"
"Are 'wildlife photo opportunities' a 'place' "?
"How big does something have to be before it's zoonotic and not just a "Parasitic arthropod"?"

One time, many years ago, I saw two people arguing. They were on FULL honk, screaming top-volume, and one of them grabbed the other by the shirt and yelled "You know what you can do? You wanna know? You can roll yourself up, post yourself to Texas, and--"

--and then a train went by, and I missed the last bit.

My brain filled in one possibility: "go f*** an armadillo."

I doubt that was it, though. I still want to know how that thought really ended.
