No pun intended

A phrase pertaining to a situation in a ironic sense.
"When I was presenting my fiancee with the ring, it fumbled out of my fingers and rolled down the sidewalk into the sewer. I guess you can say I had a 4-carat run of bad luck. No pun intended."

"When I lost my job, my boss called security guards who took me by force and threw me outside their front door. Just as I was sitting there on the sidewalk, a man dropped a newspaper in my lap and I saw an ad for a job. I guess you can say the opportunity literally fell in my lap."

"Cats are like men when it comes to looking for a date. Their singing resembles cat wailing. Never go to Karaoke on a Saturday night if you don't like cats. The air will be thick with cat call both inside and outside."
