I have a cough.
It's a pretty shitty cough, one I've had for at least two weeks now ... which is at least two weeks' less time than my kids have had it. I actually kind of feel like they've had it since May. Winter in Melbourne, I tell ya -- it can be a bitch.
So the other night as we were watching our Thursday evening TV, and I coughed, I questioned out loud "Am I going to always be coughing?"
As familiar phrasing is wont to do, this reminded me of a movie quote. So I jumped in with "ABC, Always Be Coughing. ALWAYS ... Be Coughing."
My wife laughed, and without missing a beat she said "Coffee is for coughers."
Much laughter followed.
Nailed it.

Second prize is a set of cough drops.
Swish.
What I didn't say was that I tried to extend it by saying "To sell real estate it takes brass coughs." The laugh from my wife that time was a courtesy laugh, I think.
