I always found heft to be a funny word. I’d tell people to say it a few times in a row, but last time I did that I broke into a fit of giggles. ---

[QUOTE=Silver Tyger Girl] Pants. Especially if you stretch it out a little. Paaants. [/QUOTE] Ever play the game about substituting “pants” into famous lines from movies or books (especially Darth Vader’s lines from [Star Wars](http://www.keepersoflists.org/index.php?lid=1906) movies)? “You are unwise to lower your pants.” “A tremor in the pants. The last time I felt this was in the presence of my old master.” Or Princess Leia, objecting to the Death Star being focused on her home planet: “But Alderaan is peaceful! We have no pants!” Yoda: “I cannot teach him. The boy has no pants!” I’ll stop now, because I’m snorting. “Tinkle” is also funny. ---
