Disrupted

A look inside my brain as I read this article about a suspicious package that was detonated downtown today.
A suspicious package…
Brain: “Why isn’t Suspicious Package a band name yet?”
… was blown up Wednesday morning in downtown Pittsburgh.
Brain: Please let it be ravioli. Please let it be ravioli. Please let it be ravioli.
“Once we arrived on scene we x-rayed the suitcase, determined we had a lot of circuitry and wires in the package. We decided to disrupt the package.
Brain: Disrupt? They call it “disrupting” when they blow something up? Can I suggest a better word?
“KABLOOEY!”
“We decided to KABLOOEY! the package” sounds much truer than “disrupt” which sounds like you walked up to the package all, “Ahem. Excuse me. I hate to break the ravioli party up–”
Once we disrupted …
Brain: You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
… the package, we determined it was safe of any explosives and the contents of the package happened to be a bunch of electronic equipment such as laptops, DVDs…
Brain: Oh, man. Somebody is going to be pissed when he learns his laptops and DVDs were disrupted in KABLOOEY fashion.
…and VCR players.”
Brain: [falls down laughing] Hide yo’ 8-Tracks, hide yo’ record players, hide yo’ walkmans.
They disruptin’ errybody up in here.

Abuse of the language in this way is why there’ll always be a need for English teachers, says the retired English teacher. As always, just sayin’.

We temporarily disrupt this disruption to let you know that no food or food preparation product was disrupted in this disruption…

Do you think that Jeff Reed uses that line, “want to see my suspicious package?”
