The Art of the Sentence

Some years ago, Mom bought these magnetic fridge letters.  I'm not sure if she knew at the time how much mileage we would get out of them, but they have certainly been worth the money.  In fact, we recently replenished the supply with a couple tubs of fresh, bright, clean new letters.  It's nice to be able to spell longer things.  :)  

Anyway, my dad is the master of the fridge sentence - most of the following examples are his work.  We've begun keeping a record of them because they're so intriguingly random.  (By the way, when Dad was a kid, he read the dictionary for fun...can you tell?)
