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. "There's no room for any more pictures on my walls," said Tom a-------.
-2. "The floor boards are loose, the stairs are shaky, the door jamb is loose...," Tom r------ --.
-3. "All this inactivity has made me constipated," said Tom, m---------.
-4. "<yawn> Elvis has left the building," said Tom, a------.
-5. "Taking care of those leverets was frightening," said Tom, h---*r--------.
-6. "To heated slices of bread!" Tom t------.
-7. "I'm always saying it, but I love the noise that cats make," said Tom p----------.
-8. "How tedious - one of the directors has passed away," said Tom, b---- s----.
-9. "... and so they finally let me out of jail," said Tom, f-------- --- s-------.
-10. "These batter cakes are ruining my diet," Tom w------.

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

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

Thanks, niteowl - it's getting tougher to come up with ones I haven't used! lol

Nice try, but nope. A couple of hints:
1) Tom was yawning - why?
2) What was Elvis's nickname?
whistle

4. awaking smile


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