The dis- game
"What's that, Inspector Clousseau? You've set the admitted murderer free and given him back the money he stole?"
"Yes, Inspector. The case has been dissolved."

"Unhand me!" said the Venus De Milo.

My bank has quit paying me for its use of my money. I asked why, but was told they were disinterested.

Due to budget cuts, the federal government's Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) is now located in an evergreen tree. The tree, alas, got chopped down with several staff members in it. They were Deodared.

It's a stretch, I know, but if the tree had been in Michigan would a German-speaker have located it in Dearborn?

Hello dis-gamers,

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.

On the subject of exiles it also struck me that:

The exiled Finn has some unfinished business. and
The exiled Pole must have been unpolished

Whilst the now clean former Coke addict might be uncoked, the withdrawal symptoms of the corresponding Pepsi addict will probably be dyspepsia.

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?

If an olympic athlete has a condemnation removed, is he discussed?

If you can't taste anything and it frustrates you, you're disgusted.

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.

After removal from the Britney Spears concert the heckler was disconcerted.
Speaking of Britney Spears, after shaving her head she was clearly distressed.
