Don't ever have me playing on your team if we play a word game! Here is what can happen:

 

Poor SIMON PURE. After an all night party of drinking too much of ADAM'S ALE, and too much JOLLIFICATION with Susie Notsopure, he found himself in a CIRCUMBENDIBUS position and a painful situation. He felt feverish and GUT-FOUNDERED. He desperately needed a CAT'S PAW to pull his chestnuts out of the fire. He rushed to Dr. MACARONI who did a quick 'snip-snip' procedure to untangle his not so dangling 'participle'. Final diagnosis was a TWISTICAL. Ouch. Simon and Susie are no longer an item. Susie dates around with reckless abandon while Simon...well, the last we heard he was living in a monastery some place in Tibet. True story.
