Thanks so much, Marilyn. The initial writing didn't take that long--perhaps an hour--but the editing and tweaking took another several to make sure it made sense and was pretty much grammatically correct. All told, maybe 3-4 hours.

Lol. Well that was NOT what I was expecting at all. Certainly a bit of tongue twisting happening in this fun and very different offering. Imaginative.

Yeah, my mind goes wacky at times, and this sort of thing is the result. I love word games and playing with the language.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Jim, I really, really admire your brain which has this excellent balance between left and right and has been trained to some extent by your computer background. But this demands things of another part of my own brain which is filled with dust and cobwebs, unable even to understand instructions for flat-pack furniture! Thank you for sharing your fun and clever post. Take care Debbie

Well, you've really nailed it with the way my brain works. I always used to see myself as mostly left-brained, but it wasn't until I began writing fiction that I realized I had some right-brain in there after all. My daughter is very much the same way, probably more so than me, where my son is mostly left-brained.
This particular piece is just symptomatic of my occasional wackiness. I love word games and playing with the language.

So awesome to all your educational points. These tiny words "to, two, too" can be mistakenly used. I enjoyed reading your "Humor Script" in "Warehouse Games," that it helps and opens up my perspective like words choices between "that" and "which." Great script, and wish you in winning it!

Yeah, that and which is a tricky one. Sometimes they can be used interchangeably, but usually one is preferable to the other. In the sentence: "That that that that writer used was wrong" should really be punctuated and written as: That "that," which that writer used, was wrong. Or: That "that" that the writer used was wrong. Both of those pass a grammar-checker.

That's great, and a well-informed, thank you, have a nice day!
Comment from Karen Cherry
My head hurts. Read my "How to Discourage a Guest" See if you can read it without busting a gut. I laughed so hard I peed a little. I started out with ten. Then Simian Savant helped, he really made me laugh. Wayne Fowler, and Karenina, then I wrote some more. 23 now! You are a wordsmith fella. :-)

Speaking of busting a gut, I just had mine busted open on Monday to repair an umbilical hernia. The doc stuck mesh in there to keep it from happening again. Yeah, that was a funny list you had.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
I have always hated these kinds of word play. Sorry, but it means repetition and I get lost, always have. Must be my brains work differently from yours.

Hey, different brains is what makes this world work so well. Where would we be if everyone thought the same way? I would pity the world if everyone thought exactly the same way that I do. Nothing much would ever get done!
Comment from BethShelby
That tutu break was way too long. Maybe that why my last few Amazon orders got delayed. They are probably short handed since all the guys may have lost their jobs.
Actually that is quite clever. It makes a good tongue twister.

Thanks, John. I enjoyed your wacky review. Apparently you love homonyms too AND math puzzles. I appreciate those 6 stars. It might be prone to two too many, but I'll take 'em!

Excellent
Comment from lyenochka
Oh my goodness! What a fun mind-twister. But where is the part that was in 'red'?
Now I know why my Amazon packages sometimes are crushed - the workers were playing field hockey around the boxes.
I never used puns until I met my husband. His family used them all the time. In Korean, there are too many words that sound alike.

It was at the end of the third line of the actual script (to two too). Glad you enjoyed this one, Helen. It was a challenge to get every word in the right spot.

Oh, I see it now! And you did it without any words in between!

I suppose it took two whiches to make one witch too? Is that right? I love word play too, and I occasionally take the liberty of trying the patience and horrifying my readers, beautifully written and tying my mind in knots, beautifully written Jim, , blessings Roy

Some of my favorite games to play are word games. I've always loved them. Tongue twisters too. Try this one five times fast: "I'm a fig pucker. I puck figs. I'm the biggest fig pucker who ever pucked a fig."
