Hey guys,
Hope everyone is having a great summer so far!
I'll definitely be stopping by Baker sometime in the fall, so don't think I've ridden off into the sunset just yet.
If you'd like to reach me over the summer you can e-mail me at
acilbupser@yahoo.com.
Hasta la vista.

Swifties

Our latest Pizzazz worksheet gave me the idea to make a post about Swifties, a form of pun inspired by the Tom Swift book series.
As you no doubt remember, our worksheet contained the following three Swifites:

"I hate playing tic-tac-toe," Tom said crossly.
"I wish I were six feet tall," Tom said longingly.
"I just flew in from the coast," Tom explained.

Michael J. was the first student to come up with new Swifties. His two were:

"I wish I weren't so short," Tom said briefly.
"I wish I had some money," Tom said lonesomely.

Let's see how many Swifties we can come up with as a grade. Post your best puns here.
