LEXOPHILES ARE WE

by Desmond Kelly ‘the Star of eLanka’

Before you “go off” at me, LEXOPHILE is a rather uncommon word in the English Language that describes those who have a love of “a play on words”& because of it, encourages everyone to read these things, get a laugh or giggle out of it, and “learn” the language in a fun sort of way.

Now, please sit back, relax , open up your iphone, tablet, or lap-top or WHATEVER !, tune into “e’Lanka”& play with it (the “computer”, I mean) to see quite clearly EVERYTHING our superb

Website has on offer. If you Lankan/Lankan-Aussie, a “Lankan-Loafer” anywhere in the World, e Lanka is, without any doubt, the “Premier” website for you. All you have to do is type-in the simple 6 English letters and I promise you, Neil Jayasekera, the Captain of the goodly Craft,

Her Majesty’s Lankan/Australian Ship “e’Lanka , will never let you down.

Getting back into the “LEXOPHILLIAC” that I am, let us now concentrate on the following  :-

  1. If you are a piano-tuner, you could hopefully tune a piano, but you couldn’t TUNA fish !
  2. Grab that bloody pen or ball-point, will you ?, a broken pencil is POINTLESS !
  3. To all my fishermen friends. When fish are in their “Schools”, they sometimes take DEBATE !
  4. A Thief who recently stole a Calendar got just 12 MONTHS for it.!
  5. It is only when the smog “lifts” in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A.!
  6. When a Dentist married a Manicurist, it became quite obvious. They fought TOOTH & NAIL.!
  7. A “Will” is also a “DEAD GIVEAWAY”.!
  8. When you have breakfast tomorrow, believe me, a “hard-boiled egg” is HARD TO BEAT !
  9. When you’ve seen one Shopping Centre, you’ve seen A-MALL !
  10. An unfortunate pedestrian had his entire left side cut off in an accident, he is ALL RIGHT NOW
  11. The bicycle cannot ever stand alone, without a stand. It is just TWO TIRED !
  12. When a “clock” gets really hungry, it goes back FOUR SECONDS !
  13. The poor bloke who fell onto the upholstery machine is now fully RECOVERED !
  14. He had this photographic memory which was never developed !
  15. When she saw his first strands of grey hair, she thought she’d DYE !

It pays to laugh when you can. It is “cheap medicine”, smoothes the wrinkles on your face & remember this. THOSE WHO GET TOO BIG FOR THEIR PANTS WILL ALWAYS BE EXPOSED

“IN THE END”.
