I came to the game a little bit late, but I have a few submissons:

**Thorazine®** Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.

**American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons** You deserve a break today.

**Penicillin** Clap on! Clap off!

**Halliburton** Business without boundaries.

**Mattel® Barbie Dolls** Look Ma, no cavities!

**The victorious Bush reelection campaign** Run for the border.

**Penile reduction surgery** Less irritating to the throat. :eek:

and of course the mandatory-

**Viagra** When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.

and the _even more_ mandatory-

**Ex-Lax** I think, therefore IBM

Oops, that’s a little bit embarassing, I didn’t realize there was a page two! Then I read it after I posted. Sorry about the unintended plagerism on a couple of those (also must have missed the George Bush- run for the border on page one.)
