I wrote this, but think it's funnier without the hashtag.

With many more I can think of things that I considered really funny, but had no conceivable way of adding hashtags without taking away from the brevity:

> I propose we start calling snow plow guys "Storm Troopers"

> The first stage of grief is learning to pronounce the disease.

Where could I hashtag those up without making them considerably less funny? I think the brevity is required for maximum "impact", and I don't wanna detract by putting a hashtag in the middle, because its the sentence equivalent of stressing a syllable awkwardly.

Some people on Twitter have turned this awkward word-stressing into an art. Comedian Rob Delaney comes to mind as an expert in maximizing the awkwardness of it.
