I used to work 3rd shift for a gas station in a super-seedy section of Chitown. Needless to say I was swamped with hookers and pimps on a near nightly basis.

Many, many funny exchanges resulted from the hookers loitering.

Hooker brings up several lollipops for Sal to check out one night. Noticing she had been buying a ton of them all week, I asked her,"So how come you always buying so many lollipops." She looks at me and with an oh so matter-of-factly tone and in the most ghettoist accent I've ever heard says,"To get the taste o' dick out ma mouth."

Ooooh boy.

Teacher #1: …and I smoked weed, so my friends staged an intervention. They said, "We reeeally want you to stop smoking." And I was like, "All right, but you all have to try it once to see what it’s like." Well, twice, not just once, 'cause you don’t get high the first time.
Teacher #2: You get high the first time!
Teacher #1: Not everybody does.
Teacher #2: So you made your friends smoke weed?
Teacher #1: I didn’t make them smoke. It was a choice.

:lol
