Musical Discord

//Musical knowledge mandatory
It was a moment of excitement unpacking and lifting the 25Kg Roland RD-700 out of the box. Checking all the accessories that came with the Keyboard, by brother exclaimed anxiously: "They didn't give a power cord?"
Spotting the soon-to-be-displaced Epiphone left handed guitar standing against the wall, I said, "Why don't you play a power chord instead?"

The Saucerer

The Pump Room was underground. He had sloped the floor to an edge. He had provided a Saucer Drain at the end that would collect the water. And then he did a facepalm. "How on Earth (in the Pump Room) will the water get out?"
I tried to help my Bong Friend out, but he cut me off: "If it's that cup and saucer thing you messaged about, I don't wanna hear it."
I said, "No, this one's better."
"Okay, tell."
"You can make it into a Flying Saucer!"

Oops! I Sunk it!

My Bong friend had the epiphany that in his ongoing Project he would not be able to lower the Electrical and Store rooms from their present level without incurring considerable re-concreting. Having explained the entire situation to Su, he summarized, "So you see, I can't sink these two rooms."
Su drew in a breath but before his reply came, I interjected, "Well, you could always flood the two rooms...(and they would... sink)."

Graduation Gusto

Making small talk with her, I was just trying to make the new joinee feel at home. Later, when the veteran of the Research Team arrived, I announced, "Did you know she passed out in 2004?"
Having expected a wisecrack from me, which didn't come, she replied, exasperated, "I know!!! She's from my College. She's just a year junior to me."
I replied, "That's okay, but I'm still wondering... after 2004, when exactly did she regain consciousness?"
