How About the Cake Just Sitting Out on the Counter?

A man is working diligently at his desk but he is clearly overworked and is sweating. It is just after 8 o'clock. At 9:30, he angrily swipes everything off his desk and storms off to his boss's office. At the door, the man smiles viciously, devil horns appear out of his head. He goes inside, picks up the intercom and blows a raspberry for all the employees to hear.

Is this how people quit back in the '60s? This is how I should quit. And I work at a school so it'll be fun for all!

Brutus and Gladys are shopping in the bakery section of a grocery store. "Mother's coming for a visit. She loves cake, let's buy one for her. What kind should get? Chocolate? Red velvet? Black forest?" asks Gladys. "I think a crab cake would be appropriate," Brutus responds.
Mother Gargle comes for a visit all the time. She practically lives with you. And a cake and a crab cake are nothing alike. She'd feel the insult immediately. Get a carrot cake. Nobody likes carrot cake apparently, except me.

Gladys usually does her own baking. Must be an impromptu visit.
