I only offer a few from each category represented, and the others are EQUALLY funny.) Be that as it may (BTAIM?), the idea is to take a common phrase, title, and add one letter to it to change the meaning and (hopefully) make it humorous. Such as: From an old ad on tv: "I'm Debbie, Flay me to Miami" An ad for a movie of a classical Shakespear play: "For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and Herb Romeo." Since every one likes funny signs: "BRIDE AHEAD. STOP. PAY TROLL." And a quote from a famous book by Lewis Carroll: "'All right,' said the cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the groin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone." That's tall folks, OZ seismo!rlgvax!oz
