1. I really hit it off with the pleasant and friendly salesperson at the leisure-goods store, and we came back to my place together to install my purchase between two trees, whereupon we used it as an excuse to snuggled together quite closely. You could say our relationship went from amicable to hammockable.

2. Great-aunt Martha has about seventeen charming little stories that she recycles for every occasion, not remembering (or maybe not caring) that every family member has heard them all many times before. Whenever one of us realizes she's about to start in on another one, we surreptitiously speed-dial the house phone so that there's a way to escape yet another hearing of the tale. We call it the antidote to the anecdote.

3. The garden book said that over-watering is the commonest way these plants are killed, so I only give it a teaspoon of water every other week -- but maybe this is a case of arid on the side of caution?

4. You know that actor in Virgin Suicides, Mozart and the Whale, and the Black Dahlia? For an upcoming role where he had to play a bodybuilder, he denied himself all pleasures of the flesh for several weeks as he worked out relentlessly -- a case of "abstinence makes the Hartnett stronger."

5. The Republican celebrity was shameless at pandering to the crowd using cheap rhetorical tricks. He was such a demagogue that he left every Dem agog.

6. The man who ran the delicatessen stocked the shelves with such careful attentive dedication that his customers called him the diligent deli gent.

7. I really understand your struggle -- I know well, from recent personal experience, how extraordinarily difficult it is to come up with pun on the word "empathy", and I feel your pain at trying to so.

8. Our coach pointed out how the players from Missouri University were never on time, resulting in boos from the fans and fines for tardiness, and said they should be an example that we should learn from -- "M.U. late? Don't emulate!"

9. Joe was a plain man. He used simple words. We all liked the way he talked back then. But he took a speech course that changed him. He invited us to attend a public speech he gave. Afterwards, he noticed our reaction. He said, "Whilst my rhetoric was orotund and florid, you appear to be moribund and floored."

10. My team's expertise in inorganic chemistry (in particular, compounds of the element boron) dovetailed perfectly with my research partners' mastery of organic chemistry, especially their remarkable ability to synthesize soft drinks. Creating the new product could not have been done by either team working alone -- we had to collaborate to create Cola Borate.
