QUESTION: Godfrey declared that "LARGE CARNIVOROUS SEA MAMMALS do not wear shoes with high PLATFORMS ON THE BACK OF THE SOLE." "Not true!" said Abigail.

Okie Doke -- YOUR turn:
Leonard about dropped his BONY CARTILAGINOUS STRUCTURE SUPPORTING THE SOFT TISSUES ENCLOSING THE MOUTH when he VIEWED Melissa running around her yard wearing nothing but a BRASSIERE on top of her huge yellow bath robe. "Yo-ho! Leonard!" she yelled. "I'm here with my perfect body that has nary a DEFECT!" Leonard scoffed! "Perfect body? Hmphhhh! Doubt it! Though she does have nice skin." ("And lots of it," he thought.) (3,3,3,4) Do not use punctuation in answers.
2. Every time Wilomena wore her short FREE-FLOWING GARMENT HANGING FROM THE WAIST DOWN, she would BEHAVE IN AN AMOROUS MANNER WITHOUT SERIOUS INTENT and tease all the boys in the neighborhood. One day, she slipped in the SOIL OR DRIED MUD and INJURED herself. After that day, she never played "coy" again. (Mostly because she had scabs all over her knees and she'd have looked stupid.) (5,5,4,4)
3. Hortense would never WALTZ OR JITTERBUG while wearing anything other than a tutu. In fact, she was known for her LOUD AND WILD RAVES AND SCOLDINGS on the subject. One day while wearing TROUSERS, Hortie asked Mortie for a dance. A stunned Mortie exclaimed, "What's the haps Hortie? You want to waltz while you're wearing men's clothing?" Always quick to revile, Hortie retorted with, "Oh! Mortie! Don't be silly! These are 'culottes' and they come all the way from THE LOCATION OF PARIS!" ("Whoopy-ding-ding-ding," thought Mortie!) (5,5,5,6)
4. "If one has 'properly dressed to the nines,' one will always have donned NYLONS!" shrilled snooty Miss Penelope Pittooty, with THAT PART OF HER FACE COVERING HER NOSTRILS sticking straight up in the air. Batting her eyelashes, Miss Penny then struck her traditional uppity ASSUMED POSTURE. It was at that very moment that Wilfred Teartucker ELECTED OR OPTED to set off his new fire crackers. Startled by the loud noise, Peter Pittooty's pet bullfrog 'Harold,' leaped from his hands and landed right on Penny's foot. Penny screamed, tried to run away, tripped on the rug and promptly landed right on her butt. (4,4,4,5)
5. As Matilda dusted and vacuumed her HOME OR ABODE, she was always on the lookout for errant creatures such as a spider or a RODENT. While she was busy with her chores, Harold, Matilda's HUSBAND OR MARRIAGE PARTNER would take the opportunity to prance around the back yard wearing Matilda's frilly pink SHIRT-LIKE GARMENT WORN FROM THE NECK TO THE WAIST. (The neighbors took pictures of Harold and always giggled a lot!) (5,5,6,6)
6. "These COVERINGS FOR THE HUMAN FOOT give me the MUSIC STYLE MARKED BY RECURRENT MINOR INTERVALS AND MELANCHOLY LYRICS," groaned Myrtle. Growing tired of Myrtle's constant nagging, Maxine snapped, "Well, then! Why did you wear them? It's not like you weren't able to SELECT THEM AFTER CONSIDERATION!" Myrtle s-l-o-w-l-y rolled her eyes. "Maxine," Myrtle replied, "I have two feet, and these sandals happen to be the only ones I own that come in PAIRS!" (Maxine made a mental note to be busy the next time Myrtle called.) (5,5,6,4)
7. There was no doubt about it! Seymour need to wear a girdle, but he was a man and he absolutely refused! So, in an attempt to appear a little slimmer, Seymour gave it his MOST PRODUCTIVE shot and sucked in his stomach as far as he could. When he arrived at the dinner, where he was AN INVITED MEMBER OF THE PARTY, Seymour accidentally took a breath and his cummerbund exploded and flew across the room, knocking out a window. On its route, the waste band sash hit A BIRD'S HOME MADE OF TWIGS and seventeen daffodils. Mr. Delbert, the party's host, watched the whole thing with KEEN ENJOYMENT AND INTEREST OR LEMON/ORANGE RIND. (Mr. Delbert was also known to peek in other people's windows.) (4,5,4,4)
8. William Thomas Stephen James Collier, Jr. hated wearing A SET OF GARMENTS OF THE SAME COLOR AND FABRIC. He would rather wear a yellow bonnet with PEACHES, PEARS AND BANANAS plastered all over it, than to wear formal attire. Today was no different and having completely tired of Mildred's idiotic social calendar, Mr. Collier grabbed his train whistle and began to make a SOUND OR BLOW IN SHORT BLASTS. "Drat that Mildred and her blasted social ladder," William Thomas Stephen James Collier, Jr. muttered under his breath as he angrily kicked his PIECE OF FOOTWEAR THAT COVERS THE FOOT AND LOWER LEG. (Oops, wrong move! He ended up breaking his toe!) (4,5,4,4)
9. The silly looking WOMAN'S DRESS was hemmed far too short. Colleen glanced at the TIMEPIECE and knew she had to hurry if she was to finish the alteration in time. A sharp RAP was heard at the door. "Colleen? Is my dress finished?" Picking up a LARGE STONE, Colleen hurled it towards the door. "No, Reginald! I'm not done yet! Now, go away!" (5,5,5,4)
10. "Crud! All you gave me for Christmas was a toothpick holder?" whined Charlotte. "I really, really, really, really wanted a diamond necklace to wear with my new mauve LOOSE FLOWING OUTER GARMENT." Charlotte threw the holder IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF UP and with A LOOK OF INTENSE DISAPPROVAL stomped out of the kitchen. Fearing the worst, Archibald quickly finished building his Dagwood sandwich and hurried off to A COMPACTLY SETTLED AREA LARGER THAN A VILLAGE AND SMALLER THAN A CITY. (Trust me! You do not want to know what happened next!) (4,4,5,4)
