Is anybody else a fan of Tom Swifties? They're "phrase(s) in which a quoted sentence is linked by a pun to the manner in which it is represented as having been said" (I'm quoting Wikipedia). Well, that's confusing. Here are a few examples. Feel free to write your own and post them here.
"They had to amputate them both at the ankles," Tom said defeatedly.
"I manufacture tabletops," said Tom counterproductively.
"I used to be a pilot," Tom explained.
"I can't remember what I was supposed to buy," said Tom listlessly.
"I unclogged the drain with a vacuum cleaner," Tom said succinctly.
And my favorite of all-time:
"--. --- --- -.. -... -.-- .," Tom said remorsefully.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

"i used to eat monocles," Tom said retrospectively.
The waxworks were an immensely eloquent dissertation on the wonderful ordinariness of mankind. |

"I'm angry!", Tom raged.

I expected Carl to be the master of these, but that one's not quite right. I give you 24 hours, Carl, and you'll be slaying us, I'm sure.
"I have a delivery of shoes for the prisoners," said Tom consolingly.
EDIT: Llama is the king. Forget Carl.
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |
