The dis- game
The cow lost its signalling device so we'll have to rebel.

A lot of people use Twitter but military men can only send a message once since they hate to re-tweet.

That reminds me of an awful joke someone once aggravated me with. A "friend" stood next to me and inncocently asked, "Did you ever hear what a two-hundred-pound canary sounds like?"
I said, "No, I have never heard one that big."
He then yelled as loudly as he could in my ear, "TWEEEEEEEEEET!"
After I had somewhat recovered, he asked, "Do you want to learn what a two-hundred-pound skunk smells like?"
I left before he showed me.

A woman backed into an airplane propellor. Disaster.
You may have heard that before but not that she is looking for a rebuttal.

Is a lifeboat full of male models a hunky-dory?

Nah, that's a Bohemian rowboat. And a rowboat is one in which people argue. And if the preceeding seems disjointed, it's because someone stole Proofreader's marijuana.

I here they're sending his will back to the Courts for a second evaluation. I"m not surprised; I always knew he was an old REPROBATE.

I've figured out how government works: Since "con" is the opposite of "pro," we've got Constitution and prostitution.

Similarly - the CONGRESS is the opposite of PROGRESS ?

If you pay for congress, it's prostitution. Wink

If nothing else will get rid of those grub-digging varmints who make tunnels in your lawn, you may have to resort to DEMOLITION.

Or if you're in the Mason's youth auxiliary in Canada, and you want to get rid of those varmints, you have to DeMole, ay.

Turn it around - a skinny woman who puts on weight in the right places has been configured.

She's CON-figured if she uses silicone.

How would you define "impair" ?

Impair? - to decouple of course.

I saw a performance of The Mikado once in which in the last scene the director inserted just four words of her own bit of whimsy, with great effect:

MIKADO: ...But my difficulty is that, as you have slain the Heir Apparent----

(enter Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum. They kneel.)

NANKI: The Heir Apparent is not slain!

MIKADO: (with amazement) An heir!

NANKI: A parent!



...Nobody in the audience was expecting that.

Has the guitar-playing lawyer who's been forbidden to play chords in the courtroom any more been disbarred?

No, he's discordant.

Or maybe a released convict is disbarred.

I think I may have mentioned previously that I thought disbarred had something to do with a gymnast falling off the parallels, but having rethought it I have now decided it's when you are allowed access again. Then again maybe it's when they turn a former prison into high density accommodation.

Next time I catch my daughter playing a computer game when she should be doing her homework, I'm going to tell her to display that thing straight away.
