And I remember walking past a sale in camping shop last Christmas. It was the winter of their discount tents.

An Indian complained to a doctor that he sometimes felt like living in a wigwam and at others like being in a teeppee. The doctor said, "You're too tense."

This is an intentse conversation! I'll tentatively change the subject to breakfast. My wife took mine away from me, and now I'm disporridged.

Oh let's dessert breakfast. My hubby took my pudding, I'm so discustard!

My wife likes omelets but I can't get eggsited.

That's a rye comment about the Victorian era word for "girl parts," isn't it? In other words,, you were getting bread! That is to say, marmalade with daddy and now she's got a bun in the oven.

She's having the Pillsbury dough boy?

Oh, no! She was wearing a Bib* without the use of an inner tube, so now she's feeling inflated and often tired.

*Bib is the nickname for Bibendum, the Michelin man. He was originally made of bicycle tires. Now aren't you glad to know that? The name comes from the Latin phrase, "nunc est bibendum," (time to drink now) thus tying in to our breakfast theme.

Guess she won't be having a Goodyear.

Why not? I hear her hubby's a big wheel!

He'd better be faithful or he'll find something Dunlop-ped off.

Those who oppose the present Czar are disPutin'.

And those who opposed the Argentinian dictator had a nasty habit of dis-a-peron!

When sculpture models are finished for the day, are they deposed?

When someone steals the literature carried by Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, are they distracted? I'm surprised that Cole Porter wasn't one or the other. After all, colporteur means bible peddler.

When police catch the thieves and bring back the stolen goods, the religious folk will be retracted.

If you don't like a particular religion, wouldn't you find their pamphlets unattractive?

The latest CIA sex scandal came to light when the spies were debriefed.

When the famous prankster Herr Eulenspiegel died, was Germany disTilled?

The US Tennis Association is considering a rule that would prevent players from making loud noises during play, leaving some players disgruntled.

Reports have come in that pigeons have been discovered at altitudes above thirty thusand feet. At that height their wings ice up but the pigeons have proven unflappable.

Does a sensai take away your black belt if you're dis-obi-dient?

An Indian bey had ruled over his caste-ridden province for many years. One day he was greeting ambassadors to India and one diplomat said, "Sahib, I hope I'm not being impertinent but you don't look like an Asian Indian. You look more like a North American Indian."
"Yes, that is very true," he said. "I'm actually a Narragansett bey."
Local humor.

To which his Yiddish friend exclaimed, "Oy, bey!" The Narragansetts have been disbanded!

Terrible story in the local paper: A young lady waiting at the curb to cross the street was hit in the face by the buttock of a young man who thrust them out of a passing car window. She tried to have him arrested for assault but the police wouldn't intervene, saying she was only moonstruck.

They found out who caused a train wreck in Tel Aviv. Disraeli

Did the guy who invented the #2 search engine enter politics in Isreal? Net-in-Yahoo?

Funny how your attitude can change in a short time. I felt upbeat all day but now I'm diseased.

That must have been really uneasy for you to take.

The funny thing is i threw up yesterday from a upset stomach but while doing so I felt fine. So I guess I was just ill-at-ease.

Given that you were so diseased and ill-at-ease it must have been quite uneasy for you to stand-at-ease and even more uneasy for you to stand at attention.

The incident at the Sikh Temmple made me wonder, if one lost his head covering, would he be disturbed?

It's a hot day and the weatherman told everyone to "stay hydrated." I don't like that phrase so I'll just get liquified.

I was trying to travel incognito a la Jackie O but a strong wind came up and I was discarvered

DisCarvered was what Tess Gallagher was when Raymond died.

In Forbidden Planet, I liked Anne Francis but not the talking piece of metal that protected her. Sorry, I didn't mean to disrobe.

See how many get that reference.

It was Robby, the first robot in a movie. IIRC, it came out about 1958, and was pretty scary when the thought monster showed up.

Almost right. The first robot in a movie was Johnny Weissmeuller.

Now there's a lugubrious direction for the dis- game, yet fruitful.
Joyth Carol Oatth wath dith-Smith'ed in 2011.
Priscella was de-Pres'd in 1977
Pat's widow Marie was dis-Till'ed in 2004
Biblical Ruth was dis-Boaz'd of in ancient days

When Vladimir dies, Nadezhda will be disPosnered.

When this guy died, can you imagine what his wife was? http://www.dmairfield.com/people/nutt_cc/index.html

As I was reading your great posts and pondering this game, I thought of "discovered." "Uncover" males sense to me, but how does "dis"-"covered" translate?

In googling various replies to the question 'difference between un- & dis-', it seems 'un' has been around much longer & means 'not'. 'dis' came via Latin in the Middle English period & is related to 'bis' (two), suggesting a separation, though the distinction has been blurred over time.

Hard to get much from that, right?

So.....could another term for "double-negative" be a "dis-negative"?

Or di-negative?

The other day I heard some bloke had been disbarred!

I couldn't work out if he had been:

• Let free (bars removed)
  
• Let back in (bar on entry removed)
  
• Or if he'd simply lost his erection?

I think they said he might have been a lawyer.

When they pulled off the animal Davy Crockett was wrestling, he was disbarred.

After the hurricane New Orleans is dis-easy.

If a witch hollers a curse at you, is that a hexclamation?

A thought: How long is a curse? A hexameter.

Another thought: A device for measuring genital length? A Petermeter.

Of course it is, and when she tells you what it all means that's the hexplanation.

Now if the witch gets it all mixed up and backwards, is it dis-hexic?

And when she oversells the dangers that may befall you as a result of her curse, that's hexaggeration.
