Sofia, the dromedary, was outfitted with a rig a sherpa would be proud of and her owner, Anwar, saw to it that she was well cared for. He sat tall, in new chaps, while they would go slowly through town as the women, like fat hens, clucked and cooed.

Grandpa Ulf Torkelson said, “Pass me another bun, ya?” nearly every meal for as long as his marriage lasted.

Ha!

Al Gore; sex poodle.

On a slow night at Palatka’s biggest used car lot, one salesman said to another, “Shoot, nobody’s shoppin’ here tonight. Let’s mosey over yonder - away from these here lights - and have us a gander at all them stars. Eric or Nellie can handle any customers that come in.”

For sneering scuttlebutt in yon Timbuktu, a tip: Toe the line through the use of impromptu lip service.
