PFC Johnson sighted on the enemy warlock as he chanted and gesticulated, and wondered how long it would be before Tinkerbell figured out that stuffing the officer corps with wizards wasn't sound doctrine.

The best thing about Tinkerbell wizards is the way they stand so nice and still for our snipers while they're doing their pixie dust-hokey pokey routine.

So, I was wandering on the moon the other day and found the holy grail, but I have no idea how it could have ended up there.

My great uncle sailed to the end of the world three times--twice without falling off--but my mother doesn't like to talk about him.

I told the unicorn that I would believe in him if he would believe in me, but he walked away in a snit muttering something about drunks and crappy pick-up lines.

Or

The unicorn offered to believe in me, if I'd believe in her, but I thought I'd wait until the glenfiddich wore off a bit first.

You can clap all you want, but when the faerie powering your pacemaker finally runs out of juice, there's nothing to do but petition your HMO for a trip to Never Never.

"No, Mr. Watson, you are not covered for a replacement spell, regardless of whether you'll die without it or not and I'm not the one who writes your policy, so you'll need to take it up with your insurance company."

My aptitude tests had guided me into a career as an Evil Galactic Overlady, but there was no dental and the hours sucked.

I thought about killing him the moment I saw him, but then I noticed his fangs and thought twice about whether or not I could take him.

What's with all the hostility tonight I thought, as the bouncer tried her best to tie my main tentacles together.
