Me, signing into Facebook:.....

Me: ....... *rolls eyeballs*

Ad: "Pot gummies! Its a great alternative."

Me: "How about just stop drinking and, I don't know, just save your money?"
 
Ad: "But how will you sleep?"
 
Me: "On my piles of money."
 
Ad: "Don't be like that. These are delicious. They come in pina colada, screwdriver, pink martini..."
 
Me: "So they taste like booze and cost money like booze. Who has egg money these days? Do I look like I run Pelosi's stock portfolio?" 

Ad: "Keep running your mouth, and I'm gonna redirect your browser. I'll also take your in network printer location and send it to South Korea."
 
Me: "Dude. Chill. Those gummies aren't working too well are they? Have you tried... ♫ peeeeen-yaaa cola-DA and getting caught in the rain... ♪"
 
Ad: "Okay, here are a bunch of friend suggestions of people you n.e.v.e.r. wanted to see again. Aww, here is that former co-worker that was always late and smelled like hard-boiled eggs."
 
Me: "I'm going to Total Wine today and buying Bero. Tom Holland makes that fake beer."
 
Ad: *clutches pearls in Python and LAMP stack*
 
Me: *Blocks Ad* I've never been high in my life, but I feel calmer already.
