THE DEFINITION: Lexiphile (i.e., "lovers of words" you know . like. you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish . or, I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger . then it hit me . etc.). Well, here are some for you to enjoy .
•To write with a broken pencil is . pointless.
•When fish are in schools they sometimes . take debate.
•A thief who stole a calendar . got twelve months.
•When the smog lifts in Los Angeles . U.C.L.A.
•The professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes . was on shaky ground.
•The batteries were given out . free of charge.
•A dentist and a manicurist married.. They fought tooth and nail.
•A will is a . dead giveaway.
•If you don't pay your exorcist . you can get repossessed.
•With her marriage, she got a new name . and a dress.
•Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I'll show you . A-flat miner.
•You are stuck with your debt if . you can't budge it.
•Local Area Network in Australia . The LAN down under.
•A boiled egg is . hard to beat.
•When you've seen one shopping center . you've seen a mall.
•Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was . resisting a rest.
•Did you hear about the fellow whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.
•If you take a laptop computer for a run you could . jog your memory.
•A bicycle can't stand alone . it is two tired.
•In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism . it's your Count that votes.
•When a clock is hungry . it goes back four seconds
•The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine . was fully recovered.
•He had a photographic memory . which was never developed.
•Those who get too big for their britches will be . exposed in the end.
•When she saw her first strands of gray hair . she thought she'd dye.
•Acupuncture . a jab well done.
