I hope this gets some discussion started for a fun thread if not y'all should check your pulse.
A competition to see who can come up with the best lexophiles is held every year. This year's winning submission is posted at the very end.
-- A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.
-- When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A.
-- The batteries were given out free of charge.
-- A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.
-- A will is a dead giveaway.
-- A boiled egg is hard to beat.
-- When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.
-- Police were summoned to a daycare center where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.
-- Did you hear about the fellow whose entire left side was cut off? He's all right now.
-- A bicycle can't stand alone; it's just two tired.
-- The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine is now fully recovered.
-- He had a photographic memory which was never developed.
-- When she saw her first strands of gray hair she thought she'd dye.
-- Those who get too big for their pants will be totally exposed in the end.
