The dis- game
after sampling world-class salsa at the corrida: DIPOLE

[I know it's a stretch, but would you have preferred "The Pope and his brother" or "The Pope changing his hair color"? ]

No, politics is what infests parrots. That's the reason they're always pecking at their feathers, right? When they're not requesting crackers.

Now that I think of it, politics would be grimaces he might display during sermons.

The answer is curmudgeon. The question is: What do you get if you drop a safe on a bad dog?

What do you have to do if you fall into an outhouse? Get deterred.

If they ever drafted Bigfoot, could he possibly get deferred?

There once was a man named McBride
Who fell in an outhouse and died.
His brother, the twit,
Dived into the shit
And now they're interred side by side.

To sack the boss of a TV company: to degrade.

That will only make some sort of sense to UK members, so Wikipedia comes in handy.

Once a celebrity is no longer in the public eye, they are defamed.

Some school administrations have rules forbidding cursing so the kids have been de-f-u-sed.

The silenced pig was disgruntled.

The silenced dog was disembarked.

The differential calculus was disintegrated.

When the censors hit the TV it became discussed.

The recently-worn trousers became depressed.

I don't know if it's true but supposedly Lazarus, by being raised from the dead, was exterminated.

As children get older, their bikes tend to become destabilized.

To recapture someone is to deliberate.

If someone can no longer be attacked by Hannibal they are delectable.

After the removal of a hernia a patient usually becomes distrust.

Just ended up getting quite busy after Christmas, Proof - went on holiday in February, started learning bass guitar, started having driving lessons again ... didn't get around to logging in here for a while! Not much changed while I was gone, I hope? Big Grin

In fact, he hasn't been sacked, but he "is to step down". In short, he was regraded. Maybe a retrograde step?

When an company no longer exists, they have a disco, unless it happens to be a certain famous organization for nuclear research, in which case it's discern.

Also, there was a seventeenth century French philosopher called René Leblanc, who was notorious for pranking everyone by secretly unplugging all their AV equipment, which earned him the nickname Descartes.

An angler, experiencing "the one that got away", will find that his hook has been debated.

All the clowns are on strike, so the circus has been defunded.

If a female deer was part of a Chinese food dish, would they call it domain?

North Korea has threatened to fire a female deer in their rocket, making that the world's first domicile.

I love to play chess. It's my joy
But I just like to win. Now, oh boy!
Since the opening I use
Is now certain to lose,
Can I take back my moves and deploy?

A highly-charged guy named Galvani
Announced that he had a sex plan. He
Would give a great shock
To a girl down the block
And then screw her once she’s on her fanny.

A highly-charged guy named Galvani
Had an electric dildo uncanny
It was hot, it was long,
And vibrated, this schlong,
And it pleased all the girls except Fanny
who preferred the old-fashioned variety
that was provided most willingly by Galvani's
hunchbacked assistant, Igor, who used
Galvani's electric dildo to stir his coffee.
