Years ago just after I opened my climbing shop, a customer came in and asked "You got any of those Cretons?"
My friend Bob Beal was manning the counter. He pulled on his mustache for awhile then said "You mean Pitons."
"Yeah, yeah, that's it. My shoe size is 10."
Bob handed him a Long Dong and said "That oughta do it."
Customer left happy.

Way way way back in the day, Alan Watts to Scott Davis after we did West Face of Monkey Face.
"What? You aided the first pitch? You can't do that, I've almost completely freed it now!"
Scott replies, " Yeah, ....you know that little tip jam way up there near the anchor? It's a hand jam now."
(Said totally to wind Alan up, which of course it did.)

OK, one more - overheard when an excited boy in Joshua Tree asks his new climbing girlfriend:
"Have you soloed The Eye?"
Girl responds:
"If any of your questions start with 'Have you soloed dot,dot,dot?' the answer is ALWAYS no."
The Eye was one of the first leads for my wife. She actually took a nice little whipper on it, but got back on the rock and finished. There was a group of cub scouts up there, and when she popped up into the eye one of the scouts gets this wide-eyed look and says, "IT'S A MOM!"
