A quasi-koan almost invariably has a more comedic subtext.

A quasi-koan has a similar, riddle-like essence but is less serious than its traditional predecessor.

i.e., "Is a person with MPD ever truly alone?
"If someone farts in a kitten's face, does the kitten know it is being disrespected?"

Hey! That's a quasi-koan!

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
Person 2: Nope. I just have a bunch of utility beer that Steve dumped on me. Good enough for this. It is only 10:30 a.m.
