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.

"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.
