Flouting the maxims

So I've decided that flouting maxims is much more interesting than following them. I'm glad people flout them. If no one flouted these maxims we would have some very boring conversations. Simple sarcasm, irony, and joking often is the result of these maxims being flouted.

I like how the maxim of manner is violated (there is definitely ambiguity w/ the use of "paper" here- toilet paper vs. writing paper) in the below example found at: http://hkjtefl.tesolteachers.org/2005-Nunn-Humor.html.

Mrs. Richards: Hallo! (Polly emerges) Girl. There’s no paper in my room. Why don’t you check these things? That’s what you’re being paid for, isn’t it?

Polly: Well, we don’t put it in the room.

Mrs. Richards: What?

Polly: We keep it in the lounge.

Mrs. Richards: In the lounge?!!

Polly: (really trying to help) I’ll get you some. Do you want plain or ones with our address on it?

Mrs. Richards: Address on it?!!

Polly: How many sheets? (Mrs. Richards looks appalled) How many are you going to use?

Mrs. Richards: (hitting the bell) Manager!!
