*This exercise was provided by the esteemed Zee Edgell in a Fiction II class I took a little over a year ago. It was pulled directly from the What If? text by Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter: "Name the following things. Imagine stories they might go in. Remember that tone is important, so choose both an earnest name and a farcical one."
