Cheesy Exchanges

You ever have one of those exchanges with someone and happen to slip in a clever quip and then that other person has to one up you with another...then you have to do it back to them because you want to show them that you are on another level of cheese, and so on and so on?

Well, I pride, rather I shame, myself on being extremely corny. However, sometimes the ends justify the cheese because "punny" humor has to be nipped in the bud before it gets too out of hand. I like to lump all of the possible awful jokes into one exchange just to get the stupid conversation over with. For instance, I said this about my lunch once:


Me: “I brought a roast beef sandwich and some chips….I don’t know why I put the chips in the fridge with the sandwich, but I figured they didn’t want to be separated from each other.”

Responder: “Are they in love?  Will it last?”

Of course that person had to do that! Aggravated, I unleashed the following annoying paragraph:

Me: “Well, the chips relayed to me that they are feeling suffocated by the relationship, but I told them that’s because they were in a sealed Ziploc bag.  Roast beef views the chips as its ‘something on the side’.  I’m trying my best to keep the peace here, and I’m sure I’ll be able to stomach the situation at around 12:30.  Was that cheesy enough to kill it?”

It did not get a response. Mission accomplished.
