Move Over Mrs. Malaprop
1. The crew resurfacing Nesconset Highway really didn’t care about the quality of the job they did. Is this a case of repaved indifference?
2. A divorced gentleman telephones his former wife. Is this a case of ex communication?
3. A gourmet, on first tasting a new recipe for baked beans, finds them so delicious that he gorges himself, thinking he can never have enough. Is this a case of inflatulation?
4. Tony is a homosexual prostitute. Does that make him a fruit tart?
5. Here’s a tough one concerning the painting ‘Nude Descending a Staircase.’ Is this a case of in descent exposure?
6. Upon joining a herd of dairy cows, a new arrival is chased and achieved by an amorous bull, despite her loud and long protestations. Is this a case of a mooing violation?
7. In error, a young unmarried woman waits beneath the wrong theater marque to meet a friend.
Is this a case of miss under standing?
8.On the day after a mad genetic scientist creates a huge carnivorous male elephant his student assistant disappears, interrupting further progress. Is this a case of an intern in a bull delay?
9. An otherwise starving man has nothing to eat except a cupboard full of canned pineapple. Is this not a doleful situation?
10. Having just recovered from a prolonged bout of dysentary,William Shakespeare penned his immortal line, "Tis a constipation devoutly to be wished."
