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. "Thanks for stoking up the fire", said Tom g---------
-2. "I'm not sure how many of those little pink things I have on the end of my feet" said Tom, t------ c-------
-3. "Yes, that's the prisoners dog" Tom c--------
-4. "I'm flaked out doing all those auto emission tests", said Tom e----------
-5. "I can't walk, I have a small wart on my toe," said Tom l-----
-6. "He - ate - all - of - the - dried - meat," said Tom j------
-7. "I live in this incredibly upmarket garret," said Tom l------
-8. "You can borrow my eBook reader", said Tom k-----
-9. "Life is pretty good as a rustler", said Tom, t----- s----
-10. "No arguments - I am the King", Tom r---- (think of a verb for what a King does, also means to make a decision / lay down the law etc.)

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

Bernie, flotsam, Lax - all good! (flotsam - yours was better than mine - I had "lamely") lol

oldbroad - very close - keep at it! The "con" bit is good, what you need is a short word meaning "dog" (in the widest sense) think

... and it might help that Tom seems to be agreeing...

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