I can't be the only one.

1-I'm keeping them out landfills, so there's more room for styrofoam.
"...so now you're saving the planet?..what a load of methane!"

2-I just saw it lying there, maybe someone can use it.
"...yeah, but you won't use it, you'll just work on it and talk about it."

3-It's rare.
"....so is your riding mower, try resurrecting that."

4-They're for the children.
"so is discipline. Exercise some."
