Checkmate
I think I'm pretty good at rational discussion and persuasion. But I've never been able to put one over on my mom, even when my opinion is perfectly reasonable. Especially when my opinion is perfectly reasonable.

Here, in her eternal quest to make me a more-eligible bachelor, she is telling me that I need to have eyelid surgery to make my eyes rounder. In Korea, the procedure is called sankapul.

Me: Mom, sankapul is fine for girls, but I'm a guy. I'm proud to be Korean, and this is how Koreans look. In fact, I heard of a guy who had it done, and his friends all laughed at him.
Mom: Well, that's good. You can bring some merriment into your friends' lives.
Me: Mom, if I wanted my friends to be merry, I would take the money for sankapul and throw them a party instead.
Mom: (enthusiastically) Yes, great idea! Gather your friends and you all can have a sankapul party!

People say that God doesn't violate logic -- He transcends it. My mom has a little of that in her, too.

How much does sankapul surgery cost? I'd be willing to throw down some cash just to be able to laugh at your eyelids.

For five bucks, I can give you better things about jackdeuce to laugh at than his eyelids.

Ok, two bucks.
