As many friends know, I keep a quote list on my phone and computer of the funny things people say. In conversations, in person, at work, on the phone...and there is even a document for each semester at Mizzou.
I typically haven't published them because too much context is necessary, but after realizing how much others laughed upon hearing some of these, I decided it was worth sharing some highlight quotes of the month for those that want to see them. So, if you want a quick laugh, and especially know any of these people, read these and enjoy! Comments and/or background of the context is in italics. Dad tops this month's quotable phrases, shocker there. Here's the best of September, so far!

AIM is so much more complicated than it used to be. -Alyssa G.
