"I think I made a big mistake. I cracked a ......... in the meeting and no one laughed. My manager gave me a dirty look and the rest of the delegates gave me the cold shoulder," Barry told Jean.

"We were having fun until the manager returned and ......... the whip. He yelled at us to go back to work and stood there glaring at us until we turned off the music and went back to work," Larry told Jim.

He was very sad. His wife had ......... up and was currently in a mental institution. The doctor said that she would get better but what if it happened again?

She got into a ......... robber. Her boyfriend was only four years younger than herself and she, being 24, didn't think the age difference was a big deal.

"The boss said that we can no longer wear sandals to work anymore. That is going to put a major ......... in my style. I don't wear shoes," John said to Kim.

His girlfriend wanted him to be more spontaneous and hated that he followed the same routine every day. He didn't think it was fair since he had told her he was a creature of ......... when they first met.

"I think he is still drinking. Last time I saw him, he was unsteady and slurred his words. He also stuttered and he does a lot when he's drunk," Kim, his sister, said to Ronda, his other sister. She replied "I must admit that thought did cross my......... . I noticed the same things too but on a different occasion."

Some people believe that a black cat crossing their ......... is a signal that bad luck is coming their way.

"You are missing the point. The crux of the......... is that the company can't afford to give people company vehicles anymore. We aren't stopping do to trust issues or accidents," Lisa told her assistant.

It bothered him that his kid was so prone to crying. He cried before school, he cried before he went to the dentist. He cried when he went to the doctor. He finally had enough one day and said, "Don't ......... before you are hurt anymore!"
