"I'm ashin'. Are you ashin'?"

"I'm ashin' with a passion! Are you ashin'?"

"I'm ashin' without compassion! Are you ashin'?"

"Yup! I'm ashin'! Arrogance slashin'! Are you ashin'?"

"I'm ashin'! Extravagance rationed! Are you ashin'?"

"I'm so ashin', it's smashin'!"

"Well, you do look dashin' when you're ashin'. Are you ashin'?"

"Like a plane that's been crashin'! Are you ashin'?"

"No, I'm just really fair-complected."

"Huh? Oh well... How about you? Are you ashin'?"

"I'm ashin' like Magellan eatin' melon!"

"Oh man! You blew it!"
