Here is what happened with actual Twitter times and names:
Kellie Arany @ParalelieKellie
Me: "I'll have a coke." Waitress: "Is Pepsi ok?" Me: "Is Monopoly money ok?"

(Here is where I shook my head and grumbled something to my friends about people stealing jokes as their own. Miss Kellie claims to be a "Ghost Hunter extraordinaire" but if she's willing to steal someone's rather famous joke who is to say she wouldn't fake evidence or steal it to make it hers? I couldn't resist. I replied under my paranormal research group account.)

@ParalelieKellie John Caparulo actually. But nice try. :)

(Now I don't mind that someone has repeated a joke. I don't begrudge her trying to be funny on Twitter. That's why jokes are funny because you can repeat them. However, I have never told a joke as my own that I heard. I usually mention the name of the comedian or say something like "I heard that joke from..." after I tell it.)
Here is the response that I did not expect at all:
John Caparulo favorited
48m : @ParalelieKellie John Caparulo actually. But nice try. :)
(I had to respond to such a profound favorite. I mean, what are the chances that he would have saw that particular post. I verified that he was actually Mr. Caparulo first which Twitter has a nice little blue check mark that tells you it's true.)

@WNCPRS appreciate it!
6:40 PM - 09 Nov 12
(To which I favorited the appreciation.)
