"I will need to polish my shoes." Tom expected.

I know there are lots of these in Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy.

"I think this used to be an ambush of some kind", Tom extrapolated.


No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God George Bush snr

Either trobrianders is the best Tom Swiftie writer ever or he's getting his off the Internets. The "unexpectedly" one was pure genious.

"I like thinking up adverbial puns," Tom said Swiftly.


Please pardon me, for these my wrongs.

a couple that are just silly but might amuse you...

"Mr. Quently is innocent," Tom said frequently.
"The weather's OK here in the town of Differently," Tom said indifferently.

"Idiot" is just her sig.

This would have been better,

Tom got up and said, "You're a cheat! I'm done with billiards" excusing himself.
----
"Mr. Black, I'm an aspiring musician." Tom said breathlessly
"You look like an expiring musician." Frank deadpanned.
----
The stewardess cleared Tom's tray of the half eaten donut.
Tom had nothing to declare.
----
Much of Tom's tour of duty was spent with his head in a toilet.
----
"You've made me so happy that I can hardly contain myself!" Tom gushed
----
or, more simply

"I'm on a diet," Tom declared.
----
Tom now realized that you should only believe what you see for yourself.
----
"Don't fire that rifle, they'll stampede" Tom shot back as he cowered.
----
Tom mused, "Do French cats have French accents?"
----
This doesn't make sense in English or French:
"King & Queen of Siam is the greatest song ever" singly lavished Tom.
----
"I was never good at math." Tom recounted.
----
"They are on the endangered species list!" wailed Tom.
Tom inferred that he had angered the animal rights activists.

Tom voiced his concern, "Are you able to hear me at the back of the room?"
----
"Ok, if you throw in that copy of Hamlet" Tom bartered.
----
Tom said, "Around these parts, a man does the right thing." It was a veiled threat.
----
Tom reflected on his first day at sea.
----
"...and what happens in Helsinki stays in Helsinki."

(The law of diminishing returns...)
