Pros

There’s an asteroid hurdling toward Earth – I’m going to jump over here, out of its way.

In order to fein a suicide – $10 word – a 37¢ spelling of feign

She had a crude debt of $287,000 –an uneducated and ill-mannered financial obligation

It has never boated well – and that usage did not bode well.

Amateurs

Sewn into the seem of my t-shirt – It seems like it should be seam.

You are doing a fanaminal job – It’s just not in spelling.

The city is in term oil – Well, lube up the dictionary, again.

Why do they always dial ate my eyes – So you can see that it’s dilate.

I was a wafer the weekend – and away for a lot of English classes.

If door doesn’t open, giggle the knob – Hah, that’s a laugh

The rain all afternoon Lowe’s the temps – I blame that one on Autocorrect – and inattention

Whoever sat there rilly enjoyed the show – Really, really enjoyed it.

I repeat the nice seeing cream every day – I bet the Catholics are happy about that.

Free fire would – That just burns me up.

The woman mazed a dog – I’m amazed she didn’t use Mace

THE MALE MUST GO THROUGH

The late, great, Bob Bryant.

Well, the only thing he was great at, was being late.  He was born almost two weeks after his due date, and never caught up.

He was late for breakfast, late for classes, late to get his drivers’ licence, and late for his senior prom.  His Mother told him that he’d be late for his own funeral.  If he’d shuffled his feet faster, he’d have been on the sidewalk, instead of shuffling off to Buffalo, in front of that bus.

Here he was, returning from the crematorium.  With COVID-delayed postal delivery, Mom would be right.

CRUSHING WAIT

Jeremy took his parents seriously when they had explained the importance of getting into the right university to lay the groundwork for his career.

He had never missed class in high school.  He paid attention in all classes, and took excellent, extensive notes.  He had reviewed them, and crammed hard for all exams, including the fifth-year finals he had just finished.

Now, it all came down to the final results, due soon.  This was not Damocles’ Sword hanging above him, threatening a quick death.  If he didn’t qualify to get into Stamford, both he and his parents would be crushed.
