No thanks Sue.
However, ahem, here's another winner that I thought
was pretty funny:
Darnell knew he was getting hung out to dry when
the D.A. made him come clean by airing other people's dirty laundry; the plea
deal was a new wrinkle and
there were still issues to iron out, but he hoped
it would all come out in the wash - otherwise he had folded like a cheap suit
for nothing.

<lol> that sentence could have been written
by a fourteen-year-old in fifteen minutes singing "sixteen candles" while
juggling seventeen penguins humming the opening bars of the eighteen twelve
overture.

Bulwer-Lytton sentence
About halfway through this sentence, I start screaming, "Make it stop!
Make it stop!" For me, this is THE worst opening line ever:
She wasn't really my type, a hard-looking but untalented reporter from
the local cat box liner, but the first second that the third-rate
representative of the fourth estate cracked open a new fifth of old Scotch,
my sixth sense said seventh heaven was as close as an eighth note from
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, so, nervous as a tenth grader drowning in
eleventh-hour cramming for a physics exam, I swept her into my longing
arms,
and, humming "The Twelfth of Never," I got lucky on Friday the
thirteenth.
