Ok, if these quotes indicate sarcastic (rather than authentic) laughter, they are right on. But it's still amusing, as is the awkward syntax. Thanks, Claire.
I think the "haha" quotes almost work because it's you laughing, not the author. But what about the quotes around the "AAA" battery? Not to mention the lack of an article.
This troubles me deeply. Does this mean that it contains a so-called AAA battery, which is actually a cheap Chinese impostor that does not meet the specifications of a real AAA battery? Or, should we use one of the A's as the missing article, which means it contains a AA battery.
I feel like getting an electric shock.

Maybe instead of there being a battery(as in one) it means that there are A A A batteries(as in three). Thus producing said electrical shock.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun either way. Like sticking your tongue on a 9 volt battery.
I have this sudden urge to get shocked. "haha"
ReplyDeletewhere is this thing from?
ReplyDeleteFeels like an electric shock. Now that's a "selling point".
ReplyDeleteI found it in a magic trick shop in Singapore. I think it was a fake mp3 player that gives people a slight shock.
ReplyDeleteThere actually should be quotes around "MP3 player," since I don't think it really is one.
ReplyDeletevery rarely do i actually laugh "haha." but i ALWAYS feel like getting an electric shock, on account of the coolness and the excitement.
