hehehe...I pretty much figured all of these out except one. It stumped me to no end and had to peek at it.

Pulchritude possesses solely cutaneous profundity.

Now that is deep. =)

Can't wait to use some of these around the break room. Particularly this one :

My son used to have a guinea pig named Ralph - Petey the Budgie used to sit on his head, but he never really said anything quotable.

Will this do?
