  Puns and word humor in general

  It's good tissue a rare but well-done C&D instead of allowing the problem to marinate or dragging them into court and grilling them about it.
  I'm sure that the beer company will find a meating of the minds is much better than a burning of the meal ticket.
  After all, how does one garnish wages of a whole company?

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states :
  
  Membership within the United Nations system divides the 206 listed states into three categories: 193 member states,[1] two observer states, and 11 other states. The sovereignty dispute column indicates states whose sovereignty is undisputed (190 states) and states whose sovereignty is disputed (16 states).

  on Techdirt 2013: The Numbers.
  Wikipedia lists only 193 undisputed and 16 disputed with the UN roll being 193 member states, two observer states, and 11 other states.
