• This morning I knocked myself in the head with the phone.
• That actually took a while. I had to put more and more nickels into his handset --- and if because when until (until) he got used to the weight, --- and if because when until (and) then I just took them all out.
• --- And If Because Everytime Until (Everytime) I type my name, it says "diapers."
• Just a simple macro. You know these actually don't sound that funny one after another. But he does deserve it though.
