A Kung Fu student asks his teacher, "Master, why does my ability not improve? I'm always defeated." And the master, pensive and forever patient, answers, "My dear pupil, have you seen the gulls flying by the setting sun and their wings seeming like flames?"
"Yes, my master, I have."
"And a waterfall, spilling mightly over the stones without taking anything out of its proper place?"
"Yes, my master, I have witnessed it."
"And the moon, when it touches the calm water to reflect all its enormous beauty?"
"Yes, my master, I have also seen this marvelous phenomenon."
"That is the problem. You keep watching all this shit instead of training."

Setting an Alarm
On holiday, we had been staying at a hotel. Me and my brother were in one room and my parents in another.
My Dad usually knocks on the door to make sure we don't over sleep.
Me: I told you I set an alarm for 8, why did you knock at like 7:30?
Dad: Why were you setting an alarm for 8? There are only two of you.

He asks them to feel my jacket/shirt/whatever I'm wearing. He then asks if they recognise the fabric. When they respond with "no," he'll tell them:
