So I'm at the grocery store and there's a Russian guy (well, someone with a thick, Russian-esque accent anyway) talking on the phone to someone who's giving him advice on beans… He's trying to figure out whether then “green beans” that he's supposed to get are literally something called “green beans”, or whether any bean that is green will work. Eventually he gets frustrated.
“Look, I don't care. I don't want a lesson about beans. Just tell me which ones to get. I care about this less than I care about learning Lithuanian.”
What a great barometer of interest! I guess the person on the other end of the phone took that as a good thing (assuming the dude loved Lithuanian I guess), and continued the lesson, but they were wrong.
“Listen, learning Lithuanian is number nine hundred on my list of things to do. This bean thing? It's lower than that on the list. So you can stop now.”
I don't know if that's very funny but it was amusing at the time.
