Tom Swifties

Anyone here remember the Tom Swift series of books for kids. One of the best parts were the "Swiftisms."

I thought it might be fun to start a thread creating Swifties that include some relation to travel and a fodorite.

I'll start off with a few.

Who put the Fernet Branca in my Ciroc asked Proenza-P bitterly.

These excargot have not been properly washed said keroac grittely.

I go to Paris for the cheese, airily exclaimed Ira.

I love to see the sun rise over the Grand Canal said LoveItaly glowingly.

It's very interesting to walk through the Amsterdam red light discrict, tartly noticed degas

Hi B,

"I love the cheese souffles in Paris", Ira said airily.

"This Chablis is is excellent", Ira said dryly.

"Have you tried the braised beef cheeks?", Ira said unctuously.

In Alsace, we visited Haut Kronenbourg", Ira said haughtily.

"Enjoy your visit", Ira said trippingly.

"I don't think that you will need AC for the Amalfi Coast in Oct", Ira said breezily.

"Just once I would like to take a short trip," said Underhill longingly.

"Could you please move aside so that I might see The Dance Class?", grandmere asked gracefully.

''Another Coeur a la Creme, please!", exclaimed grandmere heartily.

"I must see The Scream before the museum closes!", cried grandmere anxiously.
