I'm still of the mindset that a great deal of what normally comes out of our mouths are "routines". This can be anecdotes that we repeat when we meet new people, a particular line of humor that we employ (i.e. Seinfeld's "what's with X?"), etc.
A routine is anything you say that isn't 100% thought up on the fly, and this stuff makes up more of what we say than we think it does.
I don't care for the idea of spitting out a whole rehearsed stack, but I like the idea of taking routines that have worked for others, personalizing them, and using them as a "toolkit" in certain situations, modifying where necessary to fit the situation you find yourself in.
But, as my signature says, what do I know?
