Catherine Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 My husband, Doug, frequently comes up with outrageous, convoluted puns at dinner time. However, yesterday he assaulted us with this one, at -breakfast-. Gwen (younger daughter) had received a bottle of a new (to us) soda, called "Ting". It's from Jamaica, and is grapefruit juice based; it's actually very good. It has a sharp edge very different from the sicky-sweet of most sodas. Doug told us that if it was mixed with an artificial orange drink and then given to an Australian marsupial steel drummer, we would have a "Ting Tang Wallaby Bing-Bang". And somehow, we let him live.... Yes, you may admire our restraint. Catherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Groan... My husband is notorious for gawd awful puns, as well. I may choose to not spare this board in the future since you have figuratively broken the ice. You/we may come to rue this day! Or just have good laughs. Thanks for sharing this one. I shall pass it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 If before I'd had my cup of tea, I might've poured the boiling water over his head. I do admire your restraint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kea Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I will vouch for Ting. I have enjoyed it since our Jamaican honeymoon (24 1/2 years ago). It can be found in the US (with some effort), but it tends to cost more than other sodas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
