The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory is a damn funny series that I've been watching lately on the hotel TV. Produced by the same producer of Two and a Half Men, Chuck Lorre, you'll be sure it is funny. This is a quote I find very interesting in one of the episodes on Xmas:

Sheldon: You bought me a present? Why would you do such a thing? I know you think you're being generous, but the foundation of gift giving is reciprocity. You haven't given me a gift, you've given me an obligation. The essence of the custom is that I now have to go out and purchase for you a gift of commensurate value and representing the same perceived level of friendship as that represented by the gift you've given me. Ah, it's no wonder suicide rates skyrocket this time of year. Oh, I brought this on myself by being such an endearing and important part of your life...

I find this quite true indeed. The script writer is a genius to produce this line, along many other of his hilarious quotes. You can find more at this site.
