Let’s get married,” said Tom engagingly.

A Tom Swifty is an adverbial pun that simultaneously describes a speaker and refers to the speaker's statement. The name comes from the Tom Swift book series for young readers. The authors were roundly criticized for overusing adverbs and descriptive phrases, so that Tom hardly ever said "said" and rarely said anything without a qualifying adverb. A Tom Swifty pun is a parody of this style that will make you groan out loud.

I discovered a wonderful book “Immortal Last Words” by Terry Breverton (Quercus Publishing, Plc, London; www.quercusbooks.co.uk) containing the last words or immortal sayings of 370 people—dying remarks, deathbed declarations and final farewells, as the title page explains it. Find it from London publisher Quercus Publishing, Plc online at http://www.quercusbooks.co.uk/book.php?id=9781849164788 or from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Immortal-Last-Words-Memorable-Statements/dp/1849164789. I’ll present one of these sayings each month this year on the Ides in a Qudoku puzzle set.
