Well, one time I was describing a story to someone, and I said "and I quote" and proceeded to entirely paraphrase what the person in the story had said, using nary a one of their original words. I was corrected and said, oh right, then jumped right back into the story by saying "anywhere, were was I... Oh, yeah so then she said, and I quote-" then I was stopped again.
Now anytime one of us insists upon something that is by all means completely inaccurate another one yells "AND I QUOTE!"
