epitome of incomprehensibility
|
Putting a sophisticated, if nonsensical, spin on an old pun will endear me to a multi-generational crowd:
Q: How do English expatriates living in France get their TV?
A: The English Channel!
Hilarity ensues.
And when, upon looking out the window and seeing the brilliant light displays on skyscrapers (and random ad banners apparently projected onto the sky), I remark, "It's hard to believe, but Nairobi is actually more modern than Montreal," I will appear in the backseat of a car driven by my parents.
I'll say something like, "Wow! Nairobi, Kenya! How did we get here, anyway?" and my father will reply that he doesn't have the money to go to Africa and we're actually on the South Shore (south of Montreal) on our way to see a "chateau." This will be a castle-style cottage, a disappointing little building.
