LEXOPHILES ARE WE<\/span><\/h1>\n

by Desmond Kelly \u2018the Star of eLanka\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Before you “go off” at me, LEXOPHILE is a rather uncommon word in the English Language that describes those who have a love of “a play on words”& because of it, encourages everyone to read these things, get a laugh or giggle out of it, and “learn” the language in a fun sort of way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, please sit back, relax , open up your iphone, tablet, or lap-top or WHATEVER !, tune into “e’Lanka”& play with it (the “computer”, I mean) to see quite clearly EVERYTHING our superb<\/span><\/p>\n

Website has on offer. If you Lankan\/Lankan-Aussie, a “Lankan-Loafer” anywhere in the World,\u00a0<\/span>e Lanka is, without any doubt, the “Premier” website for you. All you have to do is type-in the\u00a0<\/span>simple 6 English letters and I promise you, Neil Jayasekera, the Captain of the goodly Craft,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Her Majesty’s Lankan\/Australian Ship “e’Lanka , will never let you down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting back into the “LEXOPHILLIAC” that I am, let us now concentrate on the following\u00a0 :-<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you are a piano-tuner, you could hopefully tune a piano, but you couldn’t TUNA fish !<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Grab that bloody pen or ball-point, will you ?, a broken pencil is POINTLESS !<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. To all my fishermen friends. When fish are in their “Schools”, they sometimes take DEBATE !<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. A Thief who recently stole a Calendar got just 12 MONTHS for it.!<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. It is only when the smog “lifts” in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A.!<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. When a Dentist married a Manicurist, it became quite obvious. They fought TOOTH & NAIL.!<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. A “Will” is also a “DEAD GIVEAWAY”.!<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. When you have breakfast tomorrow, believe me, a “hard-boiled egg” is HARD TO BEAT !<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. When you’ve seen one Shopping Centre, you’ve seen A-MALL !<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. An unfortunate pedestrian had his entire left side cut off in an accident, he is ALL RIGHT NOW<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. The bicycle cannot ever stand alone, without a stand. It is just TWO TIRED !<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. When a “clock” gets really hungry, it goes back FOUR SECONDS !<\/span><\/li>\n
  13. The poor bloke who fell onto the upholstery machine is now fully RECOVERED !<\/span><\/li>\n
  14. He had this photographic memory which was never developed !<\/span><\/li>\n
  15. When she saw his first strands of grey hair, she thought she’d DYE !<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It pays to laugh when you can. It is “cheap medicine”, smoothes the wrinkles on your face & remember this. THOSE WHO GET TOO BIG FOR THEIR PANTS WILL ALWAYS BE EXPOSED<\/span><\/p>\n

    “IN THE END”.<\/span><\/p>\n
