Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, when sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through thick of his thumb.
Now, if Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, when sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through thick of his thumb, take care that thou, when sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles thrust not three thousand thistles through thick of thy thumb.
Betty Batter bought some butter, “but” said she, “my batter’s bitter”. So she bought some better butter for her bitter batter and made her bitter batter better.
I have an idea for a single panel comic. Call it “Sunday Morning In the Paint Store,” and have a can of turpentine with a lisp sing, “Oh the preacher said I was a thinner…”
He should suggest that she change to a more lucrative job: selling dry-cell batteries to sunbathers listening to their boom boxes. She cells C cells by the sea shore.
Didn’t seem to hurt the lifestyle of the late-Mel Tillis, now, did it? It only made him stronger—-not to mention an even better/more sought after singer, of “the time” …

Had occasion to rattle this one off yesterday:
Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, when sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through thick of his thumb.
Now, if Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, when sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles thrust three thousand thistles through thick of his thumb, take care that thou, when sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles thrust not three thousand thistles through thick of thy thumb.
Success to the successful thistle sifter.

Lenny, Lenny, Lenny. You could have made it work. Just don’t talk about it. That works for a lot of things in a relationship.
