He stopeth one of three to ask how it looks on him.

“Very stylish, sir. All the Ancient Mariners are wearing them these days. If I may say, it makes you look ten years less ancient. Would you like of drop of Perrier to drink?”

“Say the secret woid and the duck will come down and give you a goose.”

Who knew that albatrosses weren’t one-size-fits-all?
