Tom Swifties

Remember these? Can you please add yours?


"I'm dying", Tom croaked.

"I've never had sex with a barnyard animal", Tom said sheepishly.

"I spilled sugar on myself", Tom said sweetly.

"Sulfuric", Tom answered acidly.

"If A equals B and B equals C, then A must equal C", Tom said reasonably.


C'mon DUers, I just know you're gonna think of a lot of these, Scuba said imaginatively.
