Well I know which shelf canned chili is on

the latter shelf must be the soon-to-expire stuff

There once was a company owned and operated by the Good family. The sons and daughters were fired by the father for objecting to his tyrannical managerial approach. Canned Goods.

I heard that more US soldiers died in WWI from eating bad canned cabbage than from enemy bullets.

That store is missing the section of the canned uglies!

That looks amazing like our co`op supermarket store whose motto is prices up daily, shelves guaranteed half empty.

And in the adult shop ’round the corner, caned bads.

You can make gravy from bats?

So, canned liver/onions on the right there then?

Would that be where one would find a bad minton racquet?

Notice that the bads are out-selling the goods…

Now, if someone would point me to the canned laughter aisle…

“Where can I find the canned bads?”

“Over by the disservice counter.”

na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Batcan!

[or Badcan, I guess.]

Have you been zooming with Pastis again?

You can get Mae West in a can?!

One of them must contain botulin.

Very good, Tatulli.

Canned bad is a synonym for vegetables

Where’s the Canned Laughter?
