SO I SAYS . . .
This exercise was invented by Keith Harmeyer and his for-
mer student, Lee Steer, as they conversed while Lee was in
college. At the end of each letter, Keith would add a new So
I Says, and in return, Lee would add one to her letters. You
can use this game to build your auditory learning skills.
In each of the following lines, you can respond by selecting
a name that sounds like a word that is described by the first
part of the sentence. For example: If I were to say to you, “So I
says to the guy changing his tire, I says, Jack!” You would re-
alize that a jack is used to change a tire and it is the name of a
person. The coincidence of sounds introduces humor, we
hope. Your job is to notice how many words sound like com-
mon names. The answers are at the end of this chapter.
