Oh, c'mon

Did you hear? We had a tsunami hit California! I'm not sure how anyone could have missed this catastrophe. Crescent City must have been devastated by the, oh wait, does that say a 6 foot wave? What the?! How on earth does a 6 foot wave merit this much attention? And hold your breath, people; there were reports of "surge waves" of 1 to 3 feet! Yikes! How are that brave city's denizens able to carry on? Let alone those poor Japanese people threatened by the massive 16 inch wave. I can only imagine the terror as people watched it roll in. (Is that it? No, it's gotta be that one! No, here it comes. No, that was the wake of Hiroshi's jet ski. This has to be the one.)
