I think of wierd things when I'm at work.

Came up with two little brain nibblies today.
(In case you were wondering, 'brain nibblies' is a term for little bits of food for thought.)

First, I think that if a dog doesn't want to have puppies, it would be called an abarktion.

Secondly, what does wistfully mean?  Full of wist?  What the heck is wist?  Wait a minute, spell check isn't catching wist... is it an actual word?  To dictionary.com!

It says it's the past tense of wit, a verb meaning to know.  Well that doesn't make any sense!  The word wistfully implies full of wist, which would make wist a noun.  Not to mention wistfully has to do with longing, not knowing.  How strange!
