1.  I saw a homeless man on roller skates pushing his grocery cart in Daisy Duke denim shorts.  The tiny shorts go with roller skates but skates don’t really seem to go with homelessness. 

2.  I think The Steve Miller Band made up the word pompitous.  As in “Some people call me Maurice, cause I speak of the pompitious of love.”
