(6) I think we're going to be able to go home at a reasonable time tonight, woohoo!
This one made me laugh. While it's not on the list of things never to say on patch day, it is on my list of things to never say if I want to get out of the office early or at a reasonable hour. Without fail, any time I tell the better half that I'm going to try to leave by X time, something ends up happening and I don't leave for several hours after that time.
