I and two of my friends are at a convenience store buying drinks. My friend’s drink is $2.73 including tax. He hands the cashier exactly $2.73. But the cashier doesn’t take it.

I ran across this phrase while reading a recent news article:

organized turbulence

From throwing rocks into the Grand Canyon to Dorothy Parker

Big Bob sauntered down to my work area and casually enquired if I had a wooden leg.

Out of touch with Reality Silicon Valley "bros" have been smoking something bad when they manage to convince each other to pay $35 for a jug of unfiltered untreated "raw" water.

Comment threads of news items can be pretty much echo chambers but every once in a while, some posts a random comment that leads to a rich variety of punny responses.

I lurk on various news and special interest forums. Occasionally the commenters get carried away with cascading puns

Found in the comments of a recent article I read:

While walking my dog (strange things always seem to happen when I'm walking my dog), I came upon a black van parked near my neighbor Jeanne's house. There were a couple of goons wearing wraparound shades studying your sick maple tree. When they saw me approach, they scuttled into their van and drove off in a cloud of sulfurous-smelling fumes.
