Alright - I'll provide you with a few "Tom Swifties" and then you try and complete the last one!
For example:)
"Open the soup," said Tom cannily.
"Yes, we have no bananas," said Tom fruitlessly.
"It can't be the circuit-breaker," Tom refused.
"It should have an apple in its mouth," said Tom pig-headedly.
"Are you an alto or a tenor?" inquired Tom.
Got it? Ok then - here goes!
"I just rested it on the windowsill," _________ _________.

Tom said piously (pielessly!). Close but no cigar. . .oh well!
said Tom panelessly.
i love momzup's answer too. :-)
Nice tries there - but not quite swiftie enough.
How about.
said Tom shelfishly?
...said Tom Windedly?
...said Tom breezily?
...basked Tom?
We give up! Do tell!
Alright - here's a hint - imagine the statement is made by one seated on the witness stand.
Those are some impressive attempts by the way - I especially like "breezily" Josh - pretty swift.
still no answer??
I just rested it on the windowsill, Tom --------
I can't complete this one, John.
But I did come up with two, I think. You'll have to tell me if I've got the idea right.
"I saw the defendant steal the exam," Tom testified.
"I did my best to repel the invaders," said Tom defensively.
You've got it Joel or Christine - those are some excellent Tom Swifties!
Ok - the answer to the challenge:
"I just rested it on the windowsill," alleged Tom. Pretty swift aye?
I'm trying to imagine a scenario where that statement could be "alleged."
"I hate it when I leave toothpaste in the sink." said Tom crestfallenly.
That is one amazing swiftie Holly!
