Welcome to my blog, or should I say to the ramblings of an old man. I doubt that my ramblings are of much value, but at least I have an opportunity to share them.  So, please be kind and humor me. If nothing else of value stands out in these thoughts, I hope that you at least sense the value I place on a daily walk with the Lord.  That walk is what has provided me with motivation and a sense of purpose throughout my lifetime.  My prayer is that you, too, are experiencing this direction and joy in daily living which is available to everyone who puts his trust in Christ.  So, thanks again for joining me.  Please don't go without leaving some comments here so I can get to know you better as our paths intersect today in this blog.

Lexophiles


Lexophile is a word used to describe those that have a love for words, such as "you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish", or "to write with a broken pencil is pointless." A competition to see who can come up with the best lexophiles is held every year in an undisclosed location.

This year's winning submission is posted at the very end.

... When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate
... A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months. 
... When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A. 
... The batteries 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. 
... A boiled egg is hard to beat.
... When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall. 
... Police were summoned to a daycare center where a three-year-old was resisting a rest. 
... Did you hear about the fellow whose entire left side was cut off?  He's all right now. 
... A bicycle can't stand alone; it's just two tired.
... When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds. 
... The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine is now fully recovered. 
... He had a photographic memory which was never developed.
... When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she'd dye. 
... Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point of it.

And the cream of the twisted crop:
 .. Those who get too big for their pants will be totally exposed in the end

          So how clever and original are you?  Why not add your entry in the comment section.
