The man who fell into an
upholstery machine is fully
recovered.
You feel stuck with your
debt if you can’t budge it.
A boiled egg in the
morning is hard to beat.
The short fortune teller who
escaped from prison was a
small medium at large.
Once you’ve seen one
shopping center, you’ve
seen a mall.
Those who jump off a Paris
bridge are in Seine.
Santa’s helpers are
subordinate clauses.
Acupuncture is a jab well
done.
Did you hear about the
Buddhist who refused
Novocaine during a
root canal? He wanted
to transcend dental
medication.
Without geometry, life is
pointless.
A stallion and a mare were
due to get married, but
the stallion didn’t show up
at the church. He got colt
feet.
