Lizette thought she was marrying a conman when Pierre told her he was into grafting.

Geppetto was not happy with his first child so he decided to make another.

“Sorry ma’am, but this survey mark clearly shows you and the kid are Belgian, not Dutch.”

“Let’s see, I’ll graft this plum onto this apricot and we’ll have pluots!” “Honey, that’s not the kind of graft that makes you a bundle; that’s just the pits!”
