| Terrifically Innovative Dork Humor :-) |

The Washington
Post's Mensa Invitational asked readers
to take any word from the
dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and
supply a new definition.
Here are this year's winners. Each is an
artificial word with only one letter altered to form a real word.
Some are terrifically
innovative:
1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which
lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
2.
Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
3. Bozone: The
substance surrounding stupid people, that stops bright ideas from
penetrating. The Bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
4.
Cashtration: The act of buying a house, which renders the subject
financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
5. Giraffiti:
Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
6. Sarchasm: The gulf between
the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
7.
Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
8.
Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
9. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.
(This one got extra credit.)
10. Karmageddon: It's when everybody is
sending off really bad vibes. Then, the earth explodes and it's a serious
bummer.
11. Decafalon: The grueling event of getting through the day
consuming only things that are good for you.
12. Glibido: All talk
and no action.
13. Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem
smarter when they come at you rapidly.
14. Arachnoleptic Fit: The
frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a
spider web.
15. Beelzebug: Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets
into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
16.
Caterpallor: The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit
you're eating.
And the pick of the lot:
17. Ignoranus: A person
who's both stupid and an
a*****e.
