"I think I can reach these apples," said Tom g---- --- -- - l---. -4. “This is my apartment,” said Tom f-----. -5. “I voted against Clinton in his last election run,” Tom said d--------. -6. “We need more bread for the doner kebabs,” Tom r-------. -7. "It's exactly 2.7 centimetres too long," Tom r----. -8. "Look - just take this lift to the top floor and be done with it," said Tom u-------. -9. “I sneaked some of the Velveeta,” said Tom c-------. -10. “I'm building a boat to hold all my tins, so there!" said Tom c-------------.
