Sentence: Rudy fell for a whole bottle of gotchup. He was a great fan of practical jokes. He was constantly pulling stunts on his roommate. Finally it was Billy's turn. After observing Rudy's habit of turning the catsup bottle over and giving it a good thunk before opening the cap, Billy knew what to do. He loosened the cap and sat back to see the results. Sure enough, Rudy proceeded to empty about half the bottle on his pants and new shoes with one good whack. The whole thing was made that much sweeter by the fact that Rudy insisted on buying the cheap runny catsup instead of the brand that Billy liked. His only regret was that PitterPat, his cat, was well within the spatter zone as the prank ensued.

Etymology: gotcha (an instance of publicly tricking someone or exposing them to ridicule) + catsup (a spicy sauce made chiefly from tomatoes and vinegar, used as a condiment)

Sentence: The case: Rosemary shook the salad dressing only to have it Russian all over her and the kitchen. The lid had been left loose. The Prime Suspect: Her husband Ceasar, a real Rocket Scientist, who went too far this time. Lettuce examine the motives: Ceasar had been carrying on with the cute tomato next door, Arugula Caprese. Rosemary discovered them undressing one day. She told Arugula's boyfriend, Radicchio Romaine, of the infidelity and he ordered Ceasar to be tossed in the Thousand Islands area. There was not mushroom for doubt in the jurors' minds when they heard that Ceasar had bean artichoked and Rosemary was acquitted for her part, filled with vinairegrette; she just wants everyone to leaf her alone. For his escarole in the slawter, Radicchio Romaine is waiting on Death Row to be Chard, cos he was found guilty. Endive story.
