The dis- game
Now my life style's chanbged. Ain't it grand?
I'm a lesbian now, understand?
There's no guy in my life,
But I do have a wife.
Should have done this before -- I'm unmanned.

(and Lady Macbeth, too, as I recall - see Act iI, Scene 5)

I always thought the Marie Celeste was unassailable.

Isn't that how you would have referred to the late Sargent Shriver, if he's gotten a divorce?

Recently a woman had an operation to replace her cognomen with that of another, wshich means the second person had to be defaced.

No need to go to such extremes. Just bask in the sun too long and you'll be red in deface.

Back to the DISMAL business of bad "dis" puns (with a little French thrown in for good measure)--

As a new member on here, if I do not behave, will I be dismembered?

Yes, but if you behave yourself, we'll remember you.

If your restaurant is condemned for losing its "A" rating is it B-rated?

I was thinking of some more "dis" words...and wondered...is there a "heveled," in "disheveled?" If so, it's not very common!

Does "assignation" mean one's buttocks catch fire?
Ooops, - no, that's "assignition." Confused

Yes, in much the same way that you disinter a body. The act of so doing is obviously dysentery.

Speaking of which, must you cuperate before you can re-cuperate?

When a kid outgrows his crib, is he a youth misspent?
December 18, 2011, 15:08
<Proofreader>
Is the child in the crib named "Snooky-ookums" or is that just a pen name?

Wouldn't outgrowing it mean he was dispensated?

If you need to have colon surgery again, does that mean you are retractable?
