Extra Credit

For extra credit, bring in two to four Tom Swifties. -- not these.  They should be "postable," so they can be taped up and read by other students.
 
TOM SWIFTIES are a special type of pun, containing what we word nerds know is an adverb of manner. Examples? "Pass me the shellfish," said Tom crabbily. "Baa," said Tom sheepishly. "I don't like nun's clothing," said Tom out of habit.
