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.

Minutes, after which playing Twenty Questions while dining at Twenty-One!!

<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.

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.
