Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The following video link (via Making Light) is either very effective satire, or has a target market (pun intended) of future Darwin Award winners.

I have no AC and am dying from the heat. It's not supposed to be 90 degrees at the end of October, dammit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have your AC, Kristin. I'd happily give it back too. Cardigan for indoors, wrapped around waist outdoors.

It's not a real proposal, but someone has come up with a provocative new genre, Squidpunk.
Fiction that unlike New Weird, Steampunk, or Slipstream, is at its core not only about squid, but about the symbolism of squid as color-changing, highly-mobile, alien-looking, intelligent ocean-goers. As a powerful ecosystem indicator, the squid is a potent symbol for environmental rejuvenation. Squidpunk is almost exclusively set at sea and must contain some reference to either cephalopods or to anything that thematically relates to squid, in terms of world iconography and tropes. Squidpunk is never escapist or whimsical. It is always serious and edgy. This combination of a hard punk aesthetic with the fluid propulsion system common to the squid has produced a unique literary hybrid beloved by Mundanes and Surrealists alike.

I need to learn how to play the guitar so I can start a band named Squidpunk.

And if the Squidpunk genre ever takes off, you'll get built-in publicity.
While you're at it, you should learn to play a 10-string guitar....
eta: You could do songs like, "Taste My Ink, Motherfucker!"
