The Dictionary's Revenge

A thesaurus walks into a bar, pub, tavern, inn, saloon, watering hole. The bartender says, 'Let me guess — you're a writer?' The thesaurus replies, 'Affirmative, correct, accurate, right, precisely, indeed.' The bartender sighs: 'Your tab is overdue, outstanding, unpaid, unsettled, delinquent.' The thesaurus faints — it had never been out-synonymed before.
