Got this idea from a post I just wrote on one of my stories.
I'll get it going for those who may not know how the before and after puzzle works.

You take a middle word such as "ball" and then you place a word in front to make one meaning and a word after it to make another meaning.

i.e. Charity Ball Busters

here are a couple more:

Large Penis Envy (sorry folks, but I did emphasize that these were puzzles the show passed up.

Hairy Arm Pit

Soft Porn Star

Ok, you get the drift. But I caution you, it's harder than it looks. (that's obvious by my poor attempts. )

Charpa

so is it that word one and word two should make a phrase, and word two and word three make a phrase, and the three words together also make one.

A bit hard, that.

Harris Tweed suit? (No thanks, I've just put one out.)

(If I were a chain Harris Tweed Suiter, I might have said "Well, I've just put one out, but thanks, yes, I'll put it behind my ear and smoke it later.)

(None of this is original. The Goons had a show where someone kept saying "Have a photograph of Queen Victoria", and the answer was something like, "No thanks, I'm trying to give them up")

But Harris Tweed Suit might do, though it's not remotely funny.

I'll keep trying.

Actually, it is not that complicated. The word in the middle is either (1) the last word in the first phrase or the (2) first word in the ending phrase.

Here's one that might be used on Wheel of Fortune:

Wheel of Fortune Seeker.

You have (1) Wheel of Fortune and (2) Fortune Seeker.

It doesn't have to be a phrase in and of itself when written.

Here's another I came up with:

Taking a Piss Off

(1) Taking a Piss and (2) Piss Off.

Rather crude but definitely something that won't show up on Wheel of Fortune.

good luck EQ. I like the fact that you're trying it out.

Charpa

P.S. Harris Tweed suit indeed works.

Couch Potato Chips!

Big Brother Bear!

I'm not taking the piss.

Just playing. As ever.

I take nothing seriously apart from my own inner demons - I'm stuck with them, they're wired in, or something. Karma and all that.

You see, there could be a sketch where someone, say you, is trying to explain a simple and enjoyable game to a strangely recalcitrant character, say me, who refuses or is incapable of understanding and playing along.

This isn't that sketch.

My word games.
Economic history book.
Peter Pan American
Russian Dolls House
Spotted Dick Whittington

I still say it's hard.

Earl Grey Skies
Penguin Biscuit Barrel
Crocodile Tears Before Bedtime
Ventura Highway Robbery
Alligator Soup Kitchen
Long John Major
Silly Point Duty
Gordon Brown Owl

(I'm on a roll now, as the cheese slice said)

If you were a Harris Tweed Suiter you' probably get turned down anyway sound real kinky to me

My brain hurts - time for cocoa methinks

But isn't it the point of some word games to tax the brain? I like the idea of a skit. Sounds like it would work.

One-Eye Dick Tater (this doesn't really follow the rules, but I think it's funny)

Big Bird Brain

I don't speak French Tickler

Cock Robin Hood
