Leg Removal

The following was taken from a mid-day telephone conversation between the Palinode and I:

"I'm going to go hair-remove my legs." I said, because I like to speak in hyphens.

"Don't you mean 'leg-remove your hairs'?" he asked.

"No, I'm going to hair-remove my legs. Otherwise, I would be removing my legs and keeping the hair."

"I thought that might be the case, but I'm not one to judge."

"But then you'd be stuck with a wife who had hairballs for calves."

"I would learn to love you again." What a guy.

"You would have to stroke them and say 'Oh, baby, your hairballs get me so hooooot'."

"Well, I was thinking that we would take you to Mexico for some leg replacement therapy."

"Thank you. The hairballs would have irritated my thigh stumps. That's very thoughtful."

"You're welcome."

This post is an important reminder about where you put the verb and the noun and the hyphen all really matter.;-)

I'm so confused now! *blink blink*
