A: That building's about to fall to the ground!
B: I'm glad that you understand the gravity of the situation.
A: That's horribly insensitive! Do you know how many people are going to die when that skyscraper collapses?
B: That's towerible!
A: This is no laughing matter! I cannot stand your heartless mockery any longer.
B: Nor can the building stand any longer.
A: That is enough! You have gone too far. You are being charged with criminal tastelessness. As your punishment, you may choose either to take a corrective course, or to pay a fine.
B: My only options are coarse and fine? Don't you have anything in between? Medium grain, perhaps?
A: There is another option. It involves me shooting you.
B: Oh no! Don't jump the gun! I don't want to bite the bullet!
Pause. A gunshot.
B: What triggered this, A? I barrel-ly said anything.
