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. "You're right, one can never have enough money," Tom a-----.
-2. "My wife complains that I fish too much," Tom c-----.
-3. "They are closing the pool this weekend," Tom said d----.
-4. "I think I'll get a goat to mow the grass," Tom said k--------.
-5. "I tried to get a date and got turned down ten times," Tom said f------ t-- t------.
-6. "I just got a job putting up steel girders," Tom b-----.
-7. "How do you like my new contact lenses?" asked Tom, g-----*e---.
-8. "I'll never sleep on the railroad tracks again," Tom said, b----- h------.
-9. "Did you know that two family members were Mayor of the same city?" asked Tom d----.
-10. “I love the new Microsoft search engine - how about you?" asked Tom p--------.

To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.

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

As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

Nah, that was the first Daley. The second Daley term had no such excitement while I was there. smile

By the way, the first Daley was known for his turn of phrase. My favorite:

"The police are not here to create disorder, they're here to preserve disorder." smile
