"I'll be late for the meeting," Tom telephoned from his car, intransigently.
"What prose can tell you any time / Is harder to express in rhyme," said Tom inversely.

They were all smile-making but "I can't dance", said Michael, flatly. has had me laughing out loud for two days.
Love it.
Thank you, Rubrick you sweet talker.

Yahoo, Rubrick, old son. Loved the Michael Flatley one.
Here's one which is probably slightly more topical:

Just any old appropriate adverb won't do; there should be some wordplay, too.
Agreed. Words beginning with in- or un-would seem to be likely hunting-grounds, as in
"I just gagged on my drink," said Tom insipidly.
"I'm telephoning you from a Greek island," said Tom indiscreetly.
"Is this how you serve as an artist's model?" asked Tom indisposedly.
"The horse has gotten loose," said Tom unstably.
"I'm out in my boat today," said Tom unassailably.

Keiva: you were banned from AWADtalk for starting a flame war and refusing to quit.
You got re-instated by threatening Wordsmith with a lawsuit.You are contemptible.

Keiva: You started a flamwar and would not quit.
You were banned, and got re-instated only by
threat of a lawsuit, which Wordsmith could not afford.
You are contemptible, and unwelcome to post in AWADtalk.
