I am an Antipodean who joined Wordcraft to generate interest in my book (Casting Nasturtiums), an aim which has been a complete failure so far. Anyway in the process Wordcraft got me hooked on it, in particular the Limerick Game, which I managed to win with my first two efforts. I recently spent a couple of hours reading with much delight a lot of the contributions to the dis-game and although determined not to get hooked again, I inadvertently found myself trying to think of examples. So for what it's worth here's a few I thought up. I haven't managed to finish reading the whole list so some of them may be duplicates of other contributions, but I hope a few of them are unique and that at least one of them brings a smile to the face of some of you, so that I at least feel my contribution was worthwhile.

Just because you are unable to feel things is no reason to be so insensitive.
He went around loudly humming, "Nnnn!" all day, until a bloke with a knuckle duster told him to shut the hell up, and he was suddenly disenchanted.
He was so ordinary, he was extraordinary!
He never wanted to have a sister. Was he the antithesis?

The worst fruit to be temporarily turned into would be a peach, because on return to normal you would be impeached. Not that a pear would be any better because you'd return impeared
The man with lily-white skin went out in the sun to get a tan, whereby he became impaled.
After unprotected sex is the morning-after pill required to impregnate the woman?
Since "impregnate" means to make pregnant, it does not make sense. I wonder if the one who regrets impregnating her thereafter used a condom as a peni-tent?

I thought impregnate and pregnate were synonyms like inflammable and flammable, but I guess I was having an irregardless moment!
The navy should ensure that all the ships in its fleet are not synchronised with each other. That way its fleet would be unsynchable.
