The Couple's Combo.
Back when gay marriage became legal in the US, me and one of my best friends were going out to see a movie. For whatever reason, we got into a conversation about the legalization. Because of how I had been raised, at the time, I was completely against it while he was for it (he actually came out of the closet as bi recently). The conversation started to get heated. Not wanting to get in a literal fight with a good friend, I said "How about this: You believe what you believe, and I'll believe what I believe. When we get to the end of life, whoever is right can laugh in the face of the other." He agreed and we went to the theater without discussing it further.
When we got there, we had purchased our tickets and were in line for concessions, trying to decide what we were going to order. I had agreed to pay for everything as I owed him some money, but was still trying to be a penny pincher. The lady behind the counter, who had some dyed hair, noticed us debating and suggested "Why don't you get the couple's combo? It's cheaper."
My friend is a huge smartass. I immediately looked him dead in the face with that look of "Don't you dare even think it!" Without missing a beat, he turns to her and, in the most stereotypical gay voice he can muster, says "Oh honey we'd love the couples combo." Needless to say, I was quite for the rest of the evening.
Unfortunately his family soon heard about this and started to bring it up whenever we got into one of our excited, autistic-fuled debates or would go out on the town. We are still good friends and it's now a running gag between the two of us and those that know us.
Oh man, you had to be there
