I'd like a handful of bowling balls, please.

I mean, sure. That doesn't necessarily seem like a weird statement to me.

It's more than several, but still a manageable number.

Great! In that case I'll take two handfuls of bowling balls and several wheelbarrows. Maybe I should get a couple (4) more wheelbarrows to be safe, bring it down to under 4 balls per barrow

If you're trying to provoke a "wait, that's not what I meant" response with that sarcasm, you won't get it :)

Use depends on context, like all language, and deliberately choosing a situation that doesn't suit the language will obviously result in confusion.

I'm just really enjoying the absurd scenario we've created
