LEXIPHILES: WHOEVER PUT THESE TOGETHER LOVES LANGUAGE:

·        To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

·        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 professor discovered that her theory of earthquakes was on shaky ground.

·        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.

·        If you don't pay your exorcist you can get repossessed.

·        With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

·        Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I'll show you A- flat miner.

·        You are stuck with your debt if you can't budge it.

·        Local Area Network in Australia : The LAN down under.

·        A boiled egg is hard to beat.

·        When you've seen one shopping centre you've seen a mall.

·        Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

·        Did you hear about the fellow whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.

·        If you take a laptop computer for a run you could jog your memory.

·        A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two tired.

·        In a democracy it's your vote that counts; in feudalism, it's your Count that votes.

·        When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

·        The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine was fully recovered.

·        He had a photographic memory which was never developed.

·        Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end.

·        When she saw her first strands of grey hair, she thought she'd dye.

·        Acupuncture: a jab well done.
