Example Sentences

"BAQUOTE A quote on the bacover, nacherly."
"Hyphen always arrives with a postal baquote added to the certified Willis-picked ones. This time it is, "Belfast addresses NEED a district number." I don't see the humor in it; in fact I suspect the postal clerks have failed to get the idea and think any sort of remark is acceptable as a baquote. I had a little more hope for them some time back, when they used: "Correct addressing--what a blessing--saves us guessing." This at least had some promise. But they showed themselves up by using it also on the next two or three issues."
