Lick The Pier
I almost forgot to mention this priceless exchange I heard on the pier between a man and his young charges (at least one of whom must've been his child) as they left a candy/souvenir store behind me on the pier.
Child #1: I didn't get sweets; I got a souvenir.
Child #2: Likewise, thusly did I. [Note: Paraphrased.]
Man: I think the people who got souvenirs instead of sweets made a really smart choice. Think about it. What happens when you lick a lollipop? It disappears! Now what happens when you lick the pier? It doesn't go anywhere! Or when you lick a ferry? Nothing!
I find it hilarious that he apparently assumed (possibly correctly) that everything they bought was purchased with the intent to lick.
