These are the puns we deserve.

What’s wrong with serving whales? I thought they were obligated to serve anyone who walked through their door?

I doubt this. Pretty sure Phil’s against the three.

You can’t go around slamming cliques - they’re sensitive. Be gentle.

“He proposed on Christmas Day 2012.”

Phil doesn’t have room on his fingers for any more rings.

I do this, but not because I don’t feel like going in the first place. I’m a major introvert, so if there are more than six or so people, I get exhausted. So I always arrive early to hang out with the few others that also arrive early, and then once it gets more crowded, I start to say my goodbyes.

“Imagine if advocates of human rights held this same worldview fifty years ago. What would the American civil rights movement have looked like in the 1950s and 60s if you didn’t believe changes in policy mattered?”

Can’t anyone just be wrong anymore? Do they also have to be a “fucking idiot”?

I can’t speak for millennials or people that have never had cable, but as someone that mostly grew up with cable, the appeal is that it’s a lot cheaper.

I know my wife really liked the book and even she hasn’t expressed much interest in the movie. I’ve never read the book myself, but I just assume something sad yet noble happens to the giant in the end and I just don’t have it in me to watch something like that right now.

Nobody said anything about not knowing the author. We are talking about not knowing that specific book. I think everybody commenting here knows who Roald Dahl is. We just don’t know this one book.

My horse, sir, most certainly does not partake in recreational marijuana activities. Good day to you.

Uh-huh. Or, maybe - just maybe - there are thousands of childrens books and when I was a child I couldn’t possibly read them all, and that was simply one that I didn’t get to. And, since after I graduated from childhood I didn’t have an interest in childhood literature anymore, I didn’t learn about this particular…

Granted, I’m Canadian, not American, but it can’t be that obscure in the US.

People disagree and people discount others’ views. It’s the way of the world, and the writers and commenters here are primed for it.
