Proper Terminology

My brother Matt and his family took our nieces, Camie and Felicity, along with my mother (got all that?) to see Thomas the Tank Engine. Mom pointed out that Thomas was actually a diesel engine made up to look like a steam engine, complete with dry ice to simulate steam. (Very ironic, considering that the diesel engines are the villains in the Thomas series.)

Mom said it was a cross-dresser. After pondering the subject, I called her back.

"That diesel dressed up to be steam engine? It was a trainsvestite."

Overheard at the DMV:

(A young teenage girl looking at her young teenage boyfriend's new license):

"Man! You look horrible! You look like a thirty-year-old man!"

Won't they be surprised to find out that thirty isn't as old as they think it is?
