"Yelled at me so gall durned loud, that he near busted my eardrums," she explained to the police, "so I picked up his huntin' rifle and shot him dead so's to shut him up. That 'aint no crime, is it?"

"It all depends on what was in your heart," said the police sergeant empathetically.

"Words, words, that's all I ever hear from you!" she fumed, "just for once, I'd love to hear a little punctuation."

"Punctuation is for weaklings," he replied, "When I speak my words flow like a mighty river filled with meaning that bursts through any dam that lesser minds may attempt to construct to impede the import of my overpowering and utterly persuasive superior ratiocination."

Athenaeum head librarian, Nymtocrates stood at the counter and replied, "No I'm sorry, all of our copies of The Republic are out, but if you wish, I can put a hold on it for you."

"You wouldn't happen to have a copy of the Charmides, would you?" asked Woofocrates, hoping against hope that he would have something spicy to read tonight.

"KOAXXX is hardly heard anymore among cultivated frogs," said the frog. "Refined batrachians much prefer ribbit."

Explained to no avail, it turned out, because his listeners knew not one word of castellano.

Explained to him or not, the French amputee frog was the bitterest of them all.

Best before date had expired and Emily was in a quandary as to whether it was safe to eat gooseberry jam with an expiry date of 08/09/09, that date of course being August 9, 1909.

August 9, 1909 being the date Emily was born, she decided to go ahead and eat the gooseberry jam, whereupon she immediately dropped dead, exactly 100 years from the date of her birth.

Birth of a 144 ft. baby Bruhathkayosaurus was celebrated with great jubilation, although the occasion was somewhat marred when the newborn devoured his midwife shortly after the umbilical cord was severed with a chainsaw.

Chainsaw Charlie escaped from the lunatic asylum last night, and citizens are urgently warned to lock their doors and bar their windows. :eek:
