That, too.


"I have to do three sets of those movements, ten times in each set," was Tom's reply.

As Ogden Nash wrote,

"There was a young belle of old Natchez
Who ripped all her garmets to patchez
When comment arose
On the state of her clothes
She drawled, when Ah itches, Ah scratchez!"

"Belle, scratch Mah itch!" Tom ejaculated

"Damn crustaceans are biting my toes," said Tom, crabbily.

"My pants just split," said Tom, unseemly.

"I have the feeling that young scoundrel deceived me," Tom implied.

"...and I don't suppose it was for any legitimate purpose, either," he insinuated.

"Watch me flex," Tom insinewated.

PS: Kudos, Hab - a double pun with "implied!"

"This coat is lovely, but where's the cat?" Tom's wife inferred.

Not a Swifty but I wonder, if someone seeks to have sex with a bicycle, does that make him a pedalphile? Or must it be a very new bike with training wheels?

A propos of double-puns - consider

"Ah, I see you've been out hunting for mink," Tom's wife inferred.

Should be in World's Worst Joke, maybe:

Two hydrogen atoms are walking down the street.
One says "My goodness, I've lost an electron!"
"Are you positive?" asks the other.

"He'd had a heart attack, and I thought it was appropriate to leave the aircraft and take him to a hospital," Tom explained patiently.

Apparently, Tom said "The obstetrician told us we had twins!"

instead?

It's even worse than I thought - I just, after all this time, saw the "pair" in "apparently." And I'm the one who wrote it in the fist place.

"Phone the midwife!" cried Tom hysterically.

"I wear tightie-whities," Tom advised briefly.

"Excuse me," muttered Tom astutely.

"Lemme at those Panzers," shouted Tom cantankerously.

"Poetry sucks," said Tom conversationally.

"Put the recyclables out early," asvised Tom cannily.
