Swifties"</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><TT>Does anybody remember "Tom Swifties?" These little
one-liners were <BR>popular, along with elephant jokes and Spoonerisms, back
when I was <BR>in junior high school. It shouldn't be necessary to explain how
they <BR>work -- just take a look at these examples from Harry Potter's
<BR>universe:<BR><BR>"I'm over here, Hermione, under the invisibility cloak,"
whispered <BR>Harry, transparently.<BR><BR>"Meow!" said Cruikshanks,
catagorically.<BR><BR>"Do you like my new dress robes?" asked Fleur,
figuratively.<BR><BR>"You must put the lacewings in *before* the axolotl,
Longbottom!" <BR>Snape said explosively.<BR><BR>"Avada, uh... how does that go
again?" said Goyle, cursorily.<BR><BR>"I've lost my finger!" cried Pettigrew,
pointlessly. (with apologies <BR>to Elizabeth Shaffer)<BR><BR>"Allow me to
introduce myself; I am Madam Maxime," she said, broadly.<BR><BR>"Want to play
a game of chess?" asked Ron, ponderously <BR>("pawnderously").<BR><BR>"Welcome
to the Knight Bus," said Stan, conductively.<BR><BR>"Oh, no! I've
forgotten my colour-coded revisions!" said Hermione,
<BR>listlessly.<BR><BR>"That @#$%! poltergeist!" Filch swore,
peevishly.<BR><BR>"Mine was sixteen inches, solid oak," stated Hagrid,
erectly.<BR><BR>"Someone's stolen all the games from the Common Room," cried
Fred and <BR>George, Cluelessly.<BR><BR>"You must breathe in the medicated
vapours as deeply as possible," <BR>said Madam Pomfrey,
inspirationally.<BR><BR>"Please concentrate all your attention on this pocket
watch..." <BR>Professor Trelawney intoned, hypnotically.<BR><BR>"Welcome to my
humble stall," said Myrtle, commodiously.<BR><BR><BR>Can you think of
others?<BR><BR>-Jim Flanagan<BR><BR></TT><BR><BR><TT>To
