Brevity by Dan Thompson for July 16, 2012

Oh, spare me. He might be able to hit on her if he wasn’t always rolling around in the gutter.

They’re on their way to striking up a little romance.

He’s always had it drilled into him that, round as he is, he shouldn’t pin his hopes on scoring with a perfect 10.

if you can stay out of the gutter

It will never work.

He might bowl her over once, but he’ll always try to pick up a spare.

Typical pinhead line.

Hey, do you have any spare change??

You always hurt the one you love.

He heard she was the headpin.

Watch out, he may knock you off your feet if he catches you in a dark alley. Maybe you’re a “10”, but you stand a better chance if you have a “7” for company.

They went on to marry, The children just didn’t fit in.

That’s a real lane pickup line.

Lookit those little hearts. Someone’s looking to get pinned.

Yes, to you and nine others.

They’re off to the movies to see The 300.

If their parents disapprove of this romance, it will take an entire strike force to achieve the split.

that’s not going to fit in there

She’s right up his alley.

Said the bowling pin before being hit by that bowling ball’s husband.
