We do it all the time. . .

Works best if both halves cost the same as a full pizza.

I love big band! Have you seen that film of Gene Kruppa playing?

I did, he says whenever you go for a walk you always take the cyclepath.

I'm not much for microweave food.  Although Delissio's pan pizza is good
(puffs up a nice & fluffy crust, just like the real thing)

the table to, I tell the waitress, "ensure I have good looking & 
intelligent company whi8le I eat."

Well, one of his personalities was, appsarently, nmaed Frank!

I love Tom Swifties -- I read the entire book seroes the term comes from,
about a heroic young inventor (I was 8 when I sat down & read all 50 books 
of the series to date  from a big box my mom bought)

Here's just the letter A from an online dictionatry of Tom Swiftys:

	"I'm wearing a ribbon round my arm," said Tom with abandon.	 
 	"I'm concerned about the number of people not attending," said Tom
absentmindedly.	 
 	"I like modern painting," said Tom abstractly.	 
 	"Now I have the tools to chop down that tree," said Tom with a 
heavy accent.	 
 	"This salad dressing has too much vinegar," said Tom acidly.	 
 	"There's room for one more," Tom admitted.	 
 	"Here's your allowance for the next two weeks," Tom advanced.	 
 	"I'd like to eat seventeen cakes," Tom agreed.	 
 	"I'm halfway up a mountain," Tom alleged.	 
 	"There's no need for silence," Tom allowed.	 
 	"There seems to be at least one blood-sucking insect in every
outhouse," said Tom aloofly.	 
 	"It's a unit of electric current," said Tom amply.	 
 	"These propulsion systems were used by NASA on moon rockets," said 
Tom apologetically.	 
 	"I compliment the company that makes the Macintosh computer," said 
Tom applauding.	 
 	"We can't have this and eat it too," said Tom archaically.	 
 	"It's an actual parameter, not a formal parameter," was Tom's
argument.	 
 	"You have the right to remain silent," said Tom arrestingly.	 
 	"Someday I'll run the CIA," said Tom aspiringly.	 
 	"I've mailed the letter," Tom assented.	 
 	"I decided which car to purchase after looking at the pictures," 
said Tom autobiographically.

Excellent taglines, but "FUNNY" as is, too. . .
