How to use lap in a sentence?
I haven't run into any problems, the most I saw were lots of lap dances.

If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.
Unfortunately missed half a lap there to get that point, but nevertheless I feel it was a worthy final race.
If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you but if a cat does the same thing, it is because your lap is warmer.
