Fun With Words! (3)


Smiley: Welcome to Smiley’s Fun With Words!




Sherbert: The only show that 24 states have outlawed and 26 have praised. Now on with the show.


Smiley: You mean the one with the words?


Sherbert: Yes, Smiley. That one.


Smiley: Boy, o boy, o boy! This is so exciting!


Sherbert: I’m sure it is. The first set of words are: illusion, queue, bigot, enigma, and sage.


Smiley: While the sage was speaking, an enigma came across my mind: what would happen if I had an illusion of a queue made up of bigots?


Sherbert: Smiley, is there a reason why the Sentence Analyzer Machine isn’t working?


Smiley: Yes.


Sherbert: What would that reason be, Smiley?


Smiley: I broke it.


Sherbert: Do you have any idea of how I’m going to fix it?


Smiley: Try hitting it with that rubber pangolin.


Sherbert: A rubber what?


Smiley: A rubber pangolin.


Sherbert: What is a pangolin?


Smiley: Pangolins are scaly mammals that look like anteaters.


Sherbert: I’m not going to ask how you know that. But I am going to ask why hitting the Sentence Analyzer Machine with a rubber pangolin would fix it.


Smiley: Why do you question my messed up logic?


Sherbert: Because somebody needs to question it and- Smiley! Stop banging that rubber pangolin on the Sentence Analyzer Machine! Stop! You’re going to break it even more then you already have!


Smiley: I fixed it!


Sherbert: Wow, it worked. I’m sorry I doubted you, Smiley. The sentence was: While the sage was speaking, an enigma came across my mind: what would happen if I had an illusion of a queue made up of bigots? Translation: While the wise man was speaking, a puzzle came across my mind: what would happen if I had a vision of a line made up of biased people?


Smiley: More words!


Sherbert: The words are barrage, global, vocation, gloat, and diversity.


Smiley: The Global Diversity Team hit me with a barrage of questions when I started to gloat


about my vocation.


Sherbert: Translation: The Worldwide Variety Team hit me with a rapid shower of questions when I started to exclaim triumph about my career. The next set of words are: designate, infuriate, pacifist, restrict, and wither.


Smiley: The withered pacifist will become infuriated if I designate that he is in restricted area.


Sherbert: The wilted peace-lover will become enraged if I decide that he is in a limited area. The


last set of words are: motivate, slake, terrain, vow, and waylay.


Smiley: On the way to the waylay we took a vow never to be motivated to slake our thirsts while we were on dry terrain.


Sherbert: Translation: On the way to the ambush we promised never to be provoked to satisfy our thirsts while we were on dry landscape. Okay Smiley, that’s all the sentences for today.


Smiley: Does this mean we get to say fragments now?


Sherbert: No, Smiley, it doesn’t.


Smiley: Darn. I really. Wanted to. Speak. In fragments.


Sherbert: You do realize that just because you speak like that doesn’t mean it’s a fragment, right?


Smiley: So what? Bye peoples! Thanks for listening! Next time bring me some ice cream!
