A funny little find in the most unexpected of places



Of all the places I would expect to randomly find puns and double meanings, I did not expect it to be on the federal trade commission's website. I stumbled upon this page while doing research for a project at work.


The play-on-words/puns/etc I found:
  • Wedding Gown Labels: Unveiling the Requirements
  • Threading Your Way Through the Labeling Requirements Under the Textile and Wool Acts
  • How to Avoid Bamboozling Your Customers
    • Do you make or sell bamboo-based textiles..
  • Down...But Not Out: Advertising and Labeling of Feather Down
  •   Clothes Captioning: Complying with the Care Labeling Rule

I don’t know how the intern or junior staff member managed to get this past the managers but bravo. He did it somehow.

Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!
