Lexophile anyone?

Lexophile"
is a word used to describe those that have a love
for words, such as "you can tune a piano, but you
can't tuna fish", or "to write with a broken pencil
is pointless." A competition to see who can come up
with the best lexophiles is held every year in an
undisclosed location. Here are this year's 2017
winning submissions:
When fish are in
schools, they sometimes take debate.
...
A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.
... When the smoglifts in Los
Angeles U.C.L.A.
... The batteries were given out
free of charge.
.. A dentist and a manicurist
married. They fought tooth and nail.
... A will is a dead
giveaway.
... With her
marriage, she got a new name and a dress.
... A boiled egg is hard to
beat.
... When you've
seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.
.. Police were summoned to a
daycare center where a three-year-old was
resisting a rest.
... Did you hear about the fellow
whose entire left side was cut off? He's all right
now.
... A bicycle can't stand alone;
it's just two tired.
... When a clock is hungry it goes
back four seconds.
... The guy who fell onto an upholstery
machine is now fully recovered.
... He had a photographic memory
which was never developed.
... When she saw her first strands
of grey hair she thought she'd dye.
... Acupuncture is a jab well
done. That's the point of it.
And finally:
... Those who get too big for
their britches will be totally exposed in the end.

I'd change one
from ... When she saw her first strands

To ... When she saw her first strands
of grey hair she thought she'd diet.

I enjoyed them. Some of them are really cute and I hadn't seen any of them before.
