‘Re-’ can be a prefix meaning ‘again’ or ‘back to.’ There is also one municipality and a small village in Norway named Re, so therefore if you have already visited either one of the villages of Re and you are going back, then you will reRe.
I’m retired myself, so knowing that the prefix of ‘re-’ means again, I must have been tired before. I have two arms, so if I rearm, will I have an extra arm? If I use that extra arm to buff my car again, is that called a rebuff? I was part of the initial action at the local hall, but if I dropped out and went back in and joined the fray, would that be a reaction? Sitting in my favourite chair I was bored, so I called a friend to discuss the matter. He asked me to call back, so when I slumped back in my chair, bored again, did that make me rebored? And when I called my friend back, did I perform a recall?
My guest slipped on the rug and fell down the stairs. He held me liable for the injury to his knee. The next day he fell down again and said because he fell a second time that I was reliable! I checked his pulse after the first fall, and when he fell again I repulsed. His knee ached so I applied some liniment and it went away. However, after a while it started up again, and he reached. Unbeknownst to me, my wife gave him a present after the first fall so that he wouldn’t feel bad, but if he gave the present to his wife, would that be considered a represent? The gift from my wife was a treat, so when he passed it on, would that be a retreat?
I was a member of a local gym, but let the membership lapse. A year later I took out a membership again, therefore I remembered. The local store owner decided to change the sign above the door and hung a new sign. Would that be considered a resign? Now he is greeting new customers as part of his renewal project. He made sure his customers would pay before leaving the store, and some would pay again by mistake. Would that be a repayment? He would enter the money in his fund and when he deposited the fund in his bank account, would that be considered a refund?
My wife has a garden gnome in a special place in her garden. If she moved it to a new place, would it then be replaced? If a strong wind blew across the venue for track and field, and after searching around for something more sheltered, it was decided to go back to the original site, would that then become revenue? And if the wind blowing sand into the eyes of the athletes died down and then it blew up again, would that be called a rewind? If the public moved to the other side for shelter, is that a republic?
If a poet was reciting a verse, and the audience requested that he read it again, would he be doing a reverse? To lie is a sin, and if I lie a second time would that be considered resin?
When I signed a lease for warehouse space, and transferred it to another party, would that be a release? The landlord deemed the lease to be in my name, but when I transferred it would the landlord redeem? The other party gave me a cent for the warehouse space, and when I passed that on to the landlord I would recent, wouldn’t I?
My wife served a beautiful supper. The next day she served leftovers of the same supper. Would that be considered a reserve? It was a veal dish, and when she set it on the table the next day it was reveal. If one side of our house was done over again, wouldn’t that be a reside? If I was pressed to write a story, but the editor wasn’t satisfied with the story and asked me to write it again, would the rewrite be a depressed effort?
Sven was happy and sort of wired after having rewired his boat trailer. He asked Ole to help him check it out. Sven hooked the trailer up to his car, and then asked Ole to stand behind it and let him know if the turn signals were working. “Look on the left side,” said Sven. “I’ll turn it on now!”
Ole looked and shouted: “Yes! No! Yes! No!”
A police officer stopped Ole for speeding and asked him very nicely if he could produce his driver’s license. Ole looked at the officer while shaking his head. He replied in a huff, "Don’t you guys speak to each other? You guys should get your act together. Just yesterday one of you guys appeared and took away my driver’s license and then today you reappear, pull me over and expect me to reproduce!"
A few more smile makers.
“Darling!” cooed the wife, “let’s eat out tonight!”
“Are you nuts?” asked the hubby, “It’s minus 30 degrees out there!”
A man ended up in the emergency room at the hospital close to the resort he was staying at with his wife. His face was lacerated and bleeding. “What happened?” asked the admitting physician.
“My wife and I had just checked into our room,” said the man. “My wife said, ‘look at that ugly picture hanging there on the wall.’ When I pointed out that it was a mirror, she grabbed it and hit me with it!”
