LEXOPHILES
A lexophile describes a love for sentences such as, "You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish," and, "To write with a broken pencil is pointless."
An annual competition is held by the 'New York Times' to determine who can create the best original lexophile.
Here are 12 of the submissions:
◾I changed my iPod's name to Titanic. It's syncing now.
◾England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool.
◾Haunted French pancakes give me the crepes.
◾This girl today said she recognized me from the Vegetarians Club, but I'd swear I've never met herbivore.
◾I know a guy who's addicted to drinking brake fluid, but he says he can stop any time.
◾A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.
◾When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A.
◾I got some batteries that were given out free of charge.
◾A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.
◾A will is a dead giveaway.
◾With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.
◾Police were summoned to a daycare centre where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.
Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.

Sure I knew the valet had a temper, but I never made him for a crossdresser.

Had to think about this one for a minute.
