The dis- game
My friend Robert had sex on Monday but didn't ejaculate until Wednesday. He was sort of discombobulate.

Sting would be jealous. He might even be lusting after the secret.

I wish those guys would discuss. My kids shouldn't have to hear those words as they watch the baseball game.

If someone misshapen is contorted, when they stand up straight are they protorted?

Similarly, if you wear a condom, you're protected. If you don't, are you contected?

No, no, no, "protort" is what you are when you're in favor of a crime (tort)

The man who takes all the copies of Epithalamion and The Faerie Queene from the library and issues them to all comers is a dispenser.

While my sister was once a very nasty person, she took some classes that demeaned her.

If you no longer care for your girlfriend, is that an antidote?

I started work as a tailor, but the job dematerialised. I then looked for work as a fruit picker, but employment opportunities had disappeared.

If something is no longer quiet, is it distilled?

If you fire the woman who works around the house I think you'll be DISMAYED.

No, if you remove the repair, then you dispatch. I'm surprised a haberdasher wouldn't know that.

Sure if the specific undoing of the repair was the removal of a patch, but the more generic verb, of which dispatch is specific case, is disrepair.

You're both right, of course, but at the same time I wanted to do it quickly.

Now I get mixed up....is "distill" the same as "until"? Or is distill what the revenuers do to the bootlegger after they catch him?

When the student was kicked out of seminary school was he disseminated?

Until is what you do to bad soil.

To steal a previous joke is plagarism, but to steal many previous jokes is research.

I like that. When I first skimmed it I thought it said "my" instead of "many": that was pretty funny too.

I'm sure there must be a dis-game word for changing the quote for someone and then taking credit for it.....I'll have to think about that one.

Ithink I'm beginning to understand now, sir....

So if your joke is stolen once you have been plagiarized, but if someone steals it many times, you have been displeasure-ized (displagairized).

(okay, I'm stretching a bit)

Distorted is what occurs when someone steals your bakery product.

Okay, instead of dissin' I must be "union".

Nice thoughts Tom - I hope you have more of them - this game needed some livening up.

If I crumple I photograph I assume it will be unflattering.

Have I disposed of my subjects if I photograph them without their knowledge?
