The owner of a mattress shop took SLEEP, a salvage contractor used JUNKIE, and a pharmacist chose PILL. Various Volkswagen owners have labeled their beetles LUV BUG, V-DBL-U and EL BUG.

They seemed unaware of this: The kids had thick glasses, and the smallest girl had light blue pixie glasses with sparkles in them. Behind the glasses her tremendous eyes seemed miles away.--Beside them in the duplex lived a lone man who watched television and gestured angrily at the government with the stump...
