Rinkydinks: Volume 1

Dear readers, I may still be suffering a bit from April Fool's Syndrome, but I'd like to introduce another Q and A series called "Rinkydinks". It is also dedicated to nonsense, but unlike "Grins and Groaners", these A's contain a smidgen of rhyme. Q: What would you call a buzzard who obsesses about opera and fine art and insists on eating with a knife and fork? A: A culture vulture. Q: What did King Arthur call Merlin's magical snowstorm? A: A wizard blizzard. Q: What might Joseph Smith, et al, be called if they offered Mormonism for free instead of charging for it? A: Not-for-profit prophets. Q: What are Nancy's fears about her job in Washington? A: Pelosi's psychoses. Q: Where do members of the Senate and House go to unburden themselves of their transgressions? A: A congressional confessional. Q: What is the downtime between a psychic's customers? A: Medium tedium. Q: What is a gay guy who can't get picked up in a gay bar? A: An ineffectual homosexual. Q: What was a resolution that even a former Speaker of the House could understand? A: A Boehner no-brainer. Q: What is a daily allowance that can only be spent at the Smithsonian or other such places? A: A museum per diem. Q: What would you call it if all of Isis' leaders took some time off to get away from it all? A: A fanatical sabbatical.
