Lexophile

"Lexophile" is a word used to describe those that have a love for words, such as "you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish," or "to write with a broken pencil is pointless."



A competition to see who can come up with the best lexphillies is held every year. This year's winning submission is posted at the very end.

.. When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.

.. 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.

.. With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

.. A boiled egg is hard to beat.

.. When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.



.. Police were called to a day care Center where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

.. Did you hear about the fellow whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.



.. A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two tired.

.. When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

.. 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 grey hair she thought she'd dye.

.. Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point of it.


And the cream of the wretched crop:


.. Those who get too big for their pants will be exposed in the end.

I see the Daily Laugh posting is now locked

Think I saw that coming. It was getting past "Family Friendly".

Sorry if some of you were offended.

I asked several times if the content was getting out of bounds, but the emails I got were all supportive and no one said anything negative up front on the thread.

And there were a few others that contributed like offerings.

Of course, there is always a range of opinions on this, or any topic, so it was to be understood that there would probably be some uncomfortableness with some of the topics.

Selecting jokes and how far to go will always be a judgmental operation.

I belong to several mens groups here in Redding, and their joke faire is similar, even sometimes more daring, even though their focus is on such topics as fishing, computers, etc.

Nonetheless, this is a boating site, not one devoted to the propagation of off color humor. It just turns out somehow that the funniest (IMHO) material often crosses into or comes directly from that genre.

I started that thread after becoming somewhat bored with contributing to threads with the same topics repeated over and over and wondering why most new members couldn't seem to find the answers from all that which had been previously written, some with considerable effort to be precise and make a lasting document that could be used as a base for continued discussion and improvement.

No matter, it's gone now, and we can return to the boating business at hand.

No problem.

Joe. :teeth :thup
