More Tom Swifties.(For example "I'll have a martini," said Tom, drily.) As ever, grovelling apologies for any re-runs

Some of these are very clever and quite tough, so being all heart, I've given you first letter and length as a starter grin·

As ever, an asterisk represents a "real" hyphen.

One answer each for first 24 hours, please.

-1. "The *!&^@* air-conditioning has packed in", said Tom, l----- --- c---.
-2. "I put my nest egg in a big insurance company," Tom said p-----------.
-3. "I don't know what is wrong with my stomach," Tom b---------.
-4. "You'll never make a surgeon with incisions like that," Tom said c--------.
-5. "We're not sure these cigarettes are legal," said Tom and Mrs Swifty j------.
-6. "The supermarkets have stocked up with washing-up liquid," said Tom j-------.
-7. "That passageway is full of rubbish," said Tom l--------.
-8. "No, I won't sell you this land," Tom re-------.
-9. "I write comedy sketches," Tom said s---------.
-10. "I really regret not paying that electric bill," Tom said d-----.

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
