The Victors

Could be "Is the sky blue?" and the response would be "Well, what time of day are we talking about, because the sky varies in color at different times of the day".

An example:
We have this little metal lunch box type thing that we have been using as a tool box for a few things on the first floor, so I don't have to go to my shop in the basement to get, say, a screwdriver. We have been using this for several years. We somehow lost the little hammer that was in it. So a while ago, I bought a small hammer to replace it. It didn't fit in the little toolbox, and this was the subject of discussion at the time. In helping her sister clear shit out of her house, there was a little plastic toolbox she didn't want, so we took it, intending to replace the lunch box/toolbox in which the hammer doesn't fit. This was also discussed yesterday. This morning, I mention "Good news, the hammer that didn't fit in the old toolbox fits in the new toolbox". She seems to have no idea what I am talking about and it takes a 5 minute conversation to bring her up to speed.
