My wife just got a new hobby. She loves to spend hours getting things wet and slippery, then slowly working them in and out until they're firm and ready.

She's taken up pottery.

My financial advisor told me I really needed to diversify my assets.

I told him, 'Don't worry, I already have a very well-rounded portfolio.'

My art teacher told me I needed to really 'work on my finishing techniques' to get a better grade.

She said my pieces were always 'too quick' and lacked 'depth'.

I've been dating a librarian, and she's always checking me out.
