1.) When complaining about how things are different from the past, at least consider that there might be a reason why the way it used to be doesn’t work anymore. Just because the past was your past doesn’t mean it didn’t actually suck.

2.) Recipe substitution is all about making up for lost thyme.

3.) The best response to Mr. Freeze’s cold puns would be “Icy what you did there.”

4.) Doing the right thing for publicity still beats the hell out of doing the wrong thing out of spite.

5.) When Jesus turned water into wine, was that an incantation or a decantation?

6.) Puns remind us there’s always more than one way to see everything, more than one way to say everything, there’s no reality without context and language is the operating system through which we share that reality. That’s why they piss off black and white thinkers so badly.

7.) Considering how badly Ariel wanted to play doctor with Prince Eric, I’m thinking she was half sturgeon.

8.) The best line to start a romance novel with is “it was a dark and horny night”.
