[net.misc] Tom Swifties, anybody?

oakland@yale-com.UUCP (Steve Oakland) (02/06/84)

Does anybody out there share my (admittedly demented) taste for Tom Swiftie
jokes?  I'm taking up a collection of them, and any submissions are welcome!

A bit of inspiration for those creative juices:

"I like homosexual necrophelia," he said in dead earnest.
"I'm touring Kansas," he stated flatly.
"I've joined a cult that worships shopping bags," he said sacreligiously.

Don't forget those old standards--

	"He's dead," Tom said gravely.
	"They had to amputate," Tom said off-handedly.

Can we kindly put the Swifties BACK into net.jokes where they came from?
(not to mention belong....). It is real hard to unsubscribe to the jokes
when they insist on infesting the rest of the net.

A relationship is like a shark. It has to keep moving forward or it dies.
What we have here is definitely a dead shark.

And:

"What's a lobotomy?" he asked mindlessly.

"The castle needs a new ditch", he said remotely.

"You can't kiss me", she replied impeccably.

"I don't want to go to the museum where the Mona Lisa is!" he whined
antedeluvianly.

"Must we always go up and down California highway 1?" she asked
surrepetitiously.

 How about:

 "In LISP we use the functions CAR and CDR," the professor appended.
   
 "The good part of Atlas Shrugged is on page 145," she said randily. 

 "If only we could control the radiation leak," he said glowingly.

 "The Exorcist is my kind of movie," she said devilishly.

More Swifties

 "My sexual preference is bestiality" he said sheepishly.
