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------.

5. hair-raisingly lol


The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

1. artfully grin


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.
