You should try to sneak them into the stuff you write up.

To vex his father Noah, Larry would wear a feather boa when he went to work each day on the ark. But far from causing wry looks, Noah felt it seemed an apt expression of the young boy's ode to life and so made no ado about it. He was just glad the kid put the damn oud away and was back at work with his awl hewing an arc of wood from the branch jutting out over the workshop. So intent was he on wooing the tun out of the wood that Larry didn't notice the mug of rye whiskey left by his workbench, nor, thought Noah, would he notice a foe creeping close when he was so intent on his work. This piece was to be placed in the hold to prevent wayward yawing. Finally with mingled awe and admiration, Larry was seen to eke the piece to completion.

The alert janitor waited out the maelstrom that delayed the boycott of the magazine empire, which was really a crusade against their gossip paper due to their chosen jargon describing the hygienic talent required to clear a cobweb from a dark corner. The storm also postponed a game between the local Minneapolis Mob and their arch-rival the St. Paul Shrapnel due to the local curfew that would not allow games to be played on Saturday. It all reminds me of one of my favorite anecdotes, which claims you should never end your nicotine habit the same week that you are scheduled to sleep in the local amphibian wing at the Nature Museum.
