    "Music from Heaven, speedy free delivery by drone." It sounded so attractive. At least we weren't inside.

    Didn't they say it came with a bench?

    I thought we ordered the white piano.

    The salesman said it would easily fit in our living room.

    I thought we agreed, no more drop shipments!

    I told you that the sound you heard was not a car backfiring.

    It's not a Steinway. It says Payl Bunyan & Sons on the front.

    The piano movers said they'd get it into the house one way or another.

    Chocolate chip with pecans in it.

    They were inspired, especially the one about drop shipping.
