Some pretty good humor and creativity here in these results of winning entries of the Washington Post's Mensa Invitational. The contest asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.
If you scroll down you will also see a second list where readers are asked to supply alternate meanings for common (or some not so common) words. My favorite on this second list is number 15.

Frisbeetarianism, n. The belief that, after death, the soul flies up onto the roof and gets stuck there.
For all you Disc Golfers, isn't that what "Steady" Ed Headrick once said? Just look at the quote at the bottom of this NYT obituary.
The quote from it reads, "'We used to say that Frisbee is really a religion -- 'Frisbyterians,' we'd call ourselves,'' Mr. Headrick said in an interview with the newspaper in October. ''When we die, we don't go to purgatory,'' he continued. ''We just land up on the roof and lay there.''

Yep, Steady Ed said that. Whoever sent in that submission to the contest is probably a golfer or knows someone who is.
