Does anyone remember Tom Swifties or are you trying to forget? So old, it's time for a rerun? -- or YART and Yawn? Here are examples. No explanations needed. "I'm shot in the chest," sid Tom, whole-heartedly. "Someone stole the spare," said Tom tirelessly. "This oxygen mask doesn't work," said Tom breathlessly. "Someone threw me down the stairs," said Tom dejectedly.

"I've got a lock on the target," Tom said insightfully
"Let's blow up these paddies," Tom said derisively
"I'm impotent," Tom said softly (
)
"Where can I find a copper figure of Lincoln?" Tom asked innocently

"Only few more miles to go," Tom said jauntily. "You promised these photos would be ready in an hour," Tom said expressively. "I'm the best engraver you'll ever find," Tom said impressively. "I've found a suitable plot for you and your husband," Tom said gravely. [hits "continue" before she can think better of it] Ali

preparing dinner always leads me to think of the strangest things; today my mind went inexplicably back to Tom Swifties... but this time with a personal twist:
"Plaintiff has no legal ground on which to base his complaint", said Sparteye demure(r)ly
"I'm afraid we'll have to amputate from the elbow down," said Dr. Bill disarmingly
"I need some help decorating this altar," said Father Steve crossly.
"Environmental issues are deserving of our attention," said Hyla conservatively.
anyone care to add?

"Does y'all got a hatchet I could borry?" Tom aksed. "The explosion completely destroyed the 747," Maj. Tom Swift of the NTSB explained. I'm completely thumbing my nose at Fate with that last one -- I'm flying out of town tomorrow! On a wing and a prayer, Flatlander
