Addendum

Jake helped me to think another idiosyncracy to add to the list. Namely, that sometimes I'll work up a good rant in my head, and not let anyone else in on it until I'm halfway through. So, my conversation starters end up something like this:

"I mean, can you believe the Wright Amendment? Love Field deserves more flights!"

or

"That man said 'I don't come from no monkey,' when no one ever said he came from a monkey!"
