Strange Conversations: Part One Hundred and Thirty-Four

This is what I get for being lax with my prepositions. And, yes, this is as close as the blog gets to politics.

ME: I don’t need to watch the budget. I’ve already heard we’re being screwed, by Triple M.
(Note: I don’t actually measure my politics according the Triple M DJs. I do listen to their music, though.)
NICK: We’re being screwed by Triple M?!
ME: We’re being screwed comma by Triple M. I left a pause and everything!
NICK: It was enough for me. I can find the tiniest crack and get in to make humour.
ME: But the crack was the point! The comma was the crack.
NICK: Well, then, a reverse crack?
ME: A . . . reverse crack?
NICK: You know. A . . . lump.
ME: What does that mean?
NICK: I don’t know!
