• Columnist filling out journalism contest entry form: “Shit. I almost put ‘alcohol’ where it asks you your hobbies.”
• Reporter: “So wait… you essentially want me to add 100 words worth of nothing. OK.”
• “Oh, another furlough day. That’s like having sex and then finding out you have to pay for it.”
