A Why Me Rhyme is a pair of words that look like they should rhyme (after all, only their first letter is different), but don't really. For example, depending on the colorist, Etrigan could be considered a lemon demon. See if you can figure out these twelve Why Me Rhymes from their descriptions:

What is heard when your little girl is having fun
A disgustingly dirty sticker
A siesta for weirdos
A friendly rejection
Lists of all sorts of animals to be eaten
An unrefined crucifix
A type of bar bet, maybe?
Makes a news agency irrelevant
Stamps that someone refuses to return
Makes contact with feminine hygiene products
A price reduction given only to certain noblemen
Newer style of patio furniture

Using the numbers 3, 3, 8, 8 (in any order), make a mathematical expression that equals 24. You can use only addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (and parentheses), but in any order you wish. Note that you have to use all four numbers; otherwise 3 times 8 would be valid -- and that wouldn't be much of a puzzle, would it? Stumped? Look in comments for the solution.
