I like “trying to shave with a barracuda” and “Pulled over for smuggling giant bees by a cop with a bad toupee”. The expressions on these guys´ faces are priceless.

Dammit, I wanna play!

You didn’t really win, **iampunha**. You only got one hit because you spelled “munchausen” wrong. Spelled correctly, munchausen edifice got 78 hits. Who can say why…

Ninja Chick, you darn near got me written up.

I’m sitting here, pretending to type up reports and in actuality I’m Google-whacking (thanks for the proper term, White Lightning!) and reading SDope message boards. I read about pachydermal interrogations, and my mind starts working on an image…

a tough grey elephant sits alone in a windowless room. The single hanging lightbulb sways back and forth, creating an ominous mood. Two seasoned detectives have been working on the big guy, but they are getting nowhere. They’ve offered him peanuts. Nothing. The dude is unshakeable.

fits of uncontrollable laughter, and my boss is looking at me like reports shouldn’t be that funny…

😃 My work here is done, then.

And of course, the elephant has it’s arms (legs?) crossed over its chest. He’s simply thinking “I could stomp these shmucks if I wanted to”

So wait, Googlewhacking just involves entering terms that get you exactly one result?

If so, then [fubsy kumquat](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&safe=off&q=fubsy+kumquat) works.
