What an anxious/impatient youngster would logically want to know in instances when his parent promises a certain action/food/relief/entertainment "in two shakes of a lamb's tail".
Cranky child: "Are we there yet?!"
Parent driving (cheerfully): "Oh, no worries --- we'll be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail!"
Cranky child: "But how often does the lamb shake its tail?! Oh, sure --- a NORMAL AND ALERT lamb probably "flutters its little stumpy thing" quite regularly, but if the lamb is asleep or not feeling chipper, its behind-flipper might not move much at all, and so it might take HOURS for it to jiggle even ONCE, let alone TWICE!"

One should always perform a careful prelimbinary inspection before attempting to climb a tree. Special scrutiny should be given to da Ugly Tree, of course, since said large leafy organism is notorious for having intrepid trunk-scalers lose their grip when nearing da top and come "multi-thuddingly" tumbling back down again.

An index-type reference book dat helps you find particular tidbits of literature regarding Silver Bullet beer.
I don't drink, so I would never have any need to crack open (pun not intended, but it sure fits here, in dat people speak of "cracking open a cold one") a concoordence.

A dictation-typist who absolutely flabbergasts others with his/her transcribing accuracy, speed, etc.
Stella Pajunas-Garnand set the world record for typing speed at 216 words per minute in 1946. I wonder if she'd have been a total stunographer, as well?

Da "yucky 'n' sticky" post-romantic-fun effects (i.e., angry parents, a squalling baby, child-support payments, etc.) of one or more "giggles 'n' chuckles" encounters (i.e., a guy and gal making happy/amused sounds while intimately canoodling) dat resulted in da girl's getting preggo.
Regardless of whether ya spell it "lafterbirth" or "laughterbirth", it's definitely not "all fun and games" when da gal's abdomen starts to swell out!

A remembering of a past auto-accident.
People's wreckollections usually vary wildly, depending on whether they are applying for injury/disability-benefits or filling out an auto-insurance application. :P
