The Road Warriors once cut a promo where they were talking about how tough it was living in the mean streets of Chicago as opposed to all the other wrestlers who had it so soft. And at one point, Animal says "we know what it's like to be beaten up by 10, 12, maybe 15 guys." My Marine buddy and I were watching it at our respective houses before meeting for dinner with our wives, and we both kind of independently latched on to it and were talking about it at dinner.
So from then on, for literally a couple of years, we'd say it about everything, and in the exact same cadence used by Animal.
"Hey Dave, how long do you think we'll have to wait for a table." "I dunno Q-Tip, probably 10, 12, maybe 15 minutes."
"Hey Q-Tip, how many potato skins do you think they'll bring?" "It's a big plate, so I'm guessing 10, 12, maybe 15 potato skins." We'd even do it if we were out in the field on a training exercise. "Hey Capt. Walters, how far do you think it is to the LZ?" "Well Capt. Tip, I'm guessing 10, 12, maybe 15 clicks."
Oddly, our wives weren't nearly as amused as we were.
