Look: I am eager to learn stuff I don't know--which requires actively courting and posting smart disagreement.

But as you will understand, I don't like to post things that mischaracterize and are aimed to mislead.

What the Hell?!? Friday - All Original Tom Swifties

"Clinton didn't waste any time getting that angioplasty," Tom said, instantly.

"Beating a dead what?" Tom said, hoarsely.

"So what if I entered through the window," Tom said, indifferently.

"Look how smooth I've made this plank," Tom said, plainly.

"I'm tired of carpentry," Tom said, feeling board.

"Here is the sum of all your numbers," Tom added.
 
"You're too stout, Tom said, emphatically.

"I'm in bed," Tom lied.

"I spent the night with a call girl," Tom said, horribly.

"She's not the one I met in the bar," Tom said, tartly.

"I'm the one who let her in," Tom admitted.

"I've located a highly-paid expert," Tom said, profoundly.

"What is your orientation?" Tom queried, gayly.

"Well, here I am, alone on the glacier," Tom said, isolatedly.

This might be the clumsiest of all Tom Swifties: "I didn't mean to knock your teeth out with my wood chopper," Tom said, accidentally.

These were wonderful! I especially loved how smooth he made the plank and how indifferent he was about coming in through the window :-D
