Funny Homophony

My two brilliant singer friends were exchanging phone numbers. Alakay had just got back his phone from the shop, having dropped it in water, losing good data.
"Okay, message me on Whatsapp." Joe sang.
"Give it a minute for the contact to sync." Alakay harmonized.
I couldn't resist: "But hadn't your entire phone... like...sank?"

Working on a competition well past midnight, my Boss called me for a discussion with the offer "Bina joke maare idhar baitha reh, to tujhe puppy doonga."
Once it was over, I was grinning ear to ear, "Okay, I want a Dalmatian."

In a meeting discussing rooftop photovoltiacs, my Client learnt of their price and reacted, "I don't understand after so many years why are these Solar Systems so expensive!".
I so wanted to reply, "Yeah, a Sun and its Planets, not to forget their Moons, don't really come cheap."
