Phones and food.
So I find myself in Bergen, a beautiful city in the spring. I was staying with friends on the slopes of one of the 7 mountains surrounding the city. On the last day they and the find I was travelling with had gone out and we'd arranged a small surprise; I was going to cook a soufflé for them as a thank you present when they got back, since they'd never tried it. My friend was in on this and I told him to keep them out of the house for a couple of hours so I could get it all made and ready.

Sure enough, it went swimmingly, until I took it out to their balcony, set up two bowls and some candles and placed my creation in the middle. The view from this place was amazing and I could see on the other side of the mountain a strong gust of wind kicking up the snow. I didn't think much of it and totally without warning I was blasted with an unbelievably strong and curiously warm wind. The bowls smashed on the floor. Cussing like an orgasming tourette's sufferer, I phone my friend.

"It's me. Listen! I need you to stall them, I've had an accident!"

"Whats up?"

"I can't hear you, you're echoing!"

"Probably because I'm behind you"

And there they were, stood behind me, curiously looking at me standing in shards of broken bowl and soufflé.

And that was my no-bowl föhn disaster.

I'm still doing them!
Everybody hates me; I don't care.

I did have something worked out about a bald-headed musician disappearing to perfect his skills at growing flowers for a garden show, but I thought it was a bit too oblique. Especially given my recent reputation for wringing awful punnage out of most things.

But, for what it's worth:

Moby left; honed his asters.

You can use the replies here to spluff all the puns out of your system if you want.

It's a nasty addiction
I really need to get over it. I'm nearly 30.
