Pronunciation: high dro jents

Sentence: Freddie always thought himself as one of life's hydrogents. He enjoyed his bottle of water everywhere and while recycling 64 ounces of the fluid behind a tree in the park, accidentally exposed himself to a policeman. It was then he realized that you don't buy the bottle of water, you only rent it. It was also then that he finally realized why his co-workers nicknamed him Liberace...because he was the peeanist in the group!

Etymology: hydrogen (H2O) & gentleman (man of refinement)

COMMENTS:

Very elegant! - but what about people with different hydrogenitalia? (And what about that Oxygen atom?) Nevertheless, your snazzy creation snares my vote. - Maxine, 2008-02-21: 08:14:00

Also a great pun on the word hydrojets! A water-deflying peeanist escaping from the cops! Excellent humor! Extraordinary verbot! Excellent! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 13:38:00

Cheers, Maxine & silveryaspen! It is the origin of the phrase: "Water you in for"? - Nosila, 2008-02-21: 19:56:00

You're on a roll! When it come to word fun ... your tops! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-21: 21:09:00
