BRUSTED = BROKEN + BUSTED


Swuvie had run across a theory that the hairline at the back of the neck of a person could determine the sex of the next sibling to be born.  I looked at her hairline and it was straight across indicating that the next sibling should have been of the same sex (whereas, if her hairline had come to a point, the next sibling should have been of the opposite sex).  Well, her brother was born 22 months after she was. So I said:
