NT: Pun of the day

[Catherine]

My husband, Doug, frequently comes up with outrageous, convoluted puns at dinner time. However, yesterday he assaulted us with this one, at -breakfast-.

Gwen (younger daughter) had received a bottle of a new (to us) soda, called "Ting". It's from Jamaica, and is grapefruit juice based; it's actually very good. It has a sharp edge very different from the sicky-sweet of most sodas.

Doug told us that if it was mixed with an artificial orange drink and then given to an Australian marsupial steel drummer, we would have a "Ting Tang Wallaby Bing-Bang".

And somehow, we let him live.... Yes, you may admire our restraint.

Groan... My husband is notorious for gawd awful puns, as well. I may choose to not spare this board in the future since you have figuratively broken the ice. You/we may come to rue this day! Or just have good laughs. Thanks for sharing this one. I shall pass it on.

If before I'd had my cup of tea, I might've poured the boiling water over his head. I do admire your restraint.

I will vouch for Ting. I have enjoyed it since our Jamaican honeymoon (24 1/2 years ago). It can be found in the US (with some effort), but it tends to cost more than other sodas.
