The public opinion polls seemed to say whatever the pollsters wanted them to say; pro abortion or anti abortion, pro gun or anti gun, pro gay marriage, anti gay marriage, raise the debt ceiling or don’t raise it. The one thing all the polls agreed on was that the whole bunch of politicos ought to be fired and they should start over . . . . David, Sf.G.
While at a family gathering, John’s sister asked about the big bumps on his head, but his father said every bullfrog has them. His brother suggested that after a night with the boys and a few too many beers he had just jumped too high and hit the bottom of the bridge. The uncle Huey, the conspiracy theorist, told everyone that while John had been intoxicated, they (either aliens or the KGB) had put a chip in his head and now could read all his thoughts and program some of their own in, so be careful . . . .

Tina didn’t mean to stick her nose into other people’s business, it was just that it was so long she often couldn’t help it. She wondered if ObamaCare would cover a nose/beak job?. . . . David, Sf.G.
Gloria knew intellectually that bees and insects were necessary to ensure pollination and thus guarantee future generations of her kind, but those tickling little feet just drove her around the bend. Why couldn’t they just hover like humming birds? . . . . David, Sf.G.
Henrietta had heard that Lady Gaga was seeking a protege, and she jumped at the chance. Lady Gaga’s music was better than OK, even if Henrietta didn’t agree with some of her lifestyle choices, but the thought of getting to dispose of her meat dresses after performances and appearances had a certain allure for the winged carnivore. So much easier than chasing down cotton rats, snakes and voles. . . . . David, Sf.G.
Imogene had learned in her natural history class that Willets like her had an all seafood diet, but, she reasoned, they didn’t get all the seafood available. No catfish nuggets, coconut shrimp, lobster bisque and no fish sticks or McDonald’s Filet of Fish sandwiches . . . . . David, Sf.G.
