I mean the dog at the hydrant and the ATM lines were written by imbeciles, clearly, but "her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever" and the "as shots are wont to do" are actually really good.

What lovely pupils someone has got. I can't help wondering what work was set in order to produce such brilliance? I have tears streaming down my cheeks. What lovely pupils someone has got.

I can picture these kids, chins propped on hands, trying to think of that perfect mark winning metaphor. I mean, No 22? That's exactly what they look like! Brilliant.

They are mostly deliberately awful in my view, and it makes my heart sing to know that their teenagers out there who take joy in words that they are able to play with them.
