Any standard quotes you have? ie if you were a Trekkie is it "Beam Me Up Scotty." ie if you're into civil liberty and justice does it begin with "I had a dream, and in this dream all people were created equal." Or do you believe that you should "Just Do It" When I hold my cell phone I can't help but think "The Future Is Friendly." Whenever I see a red door with polka dots on it, I can't help but to scream "Polkaroo"

I use it when I'm playing board games with friends and the tension is so thick, you could cut it with a knife. It gets a smile out of them. The second would have to be "Mahna Mahna" from Sesame Street, Muppet Show, etc... Whenever my girlfriend and I hear that song, the word "Phenomenon", or lately the Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper Comm'l, We can't help but go "Doo do dah doo doo"

That's trippy, as I just downloaded that particular tune recently and JUST put it on for my daughter (it's still on now), JUST before I read your post (not the thread, YOUR post in particular). :O Mine might be "your perception determines your reality". There're a lot though.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
