I am pleased that you want to hear about it, and the first thing you will probably want to know is where I was born, and what my wonderful childhood was like, and how my parents were occuppied before they welcomed me into their lives, and more information in the fashion Mr. Dickens provided so admirably in his David Copperfield, and I will be only too happy to oblige.

She had the kind of face that looked good on a manikin, so that’s where I placed it.

He was never a handsome man, they said he had a face for radio, but it wouldn't fit, so I put it through the television instead - now he can star on "The Walking Dead".

As the killer turtle advanced purposefully toward me, its evil eyes shining with malevolent blood-lust, I realized with mounting horror that I had only 5 hours to turn around and walk away.

A lone man, bent with the weight of many years, sat on a chair outside the simple mud hut that he'd called home for most of his adult life and waited for he knew not what.

Oh, ye writers! We know who you are!
The last living writer in the world sat down at his computer and started WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS, only to realize with mounting horror that either the floppy disk drive on his Osborne portable computer had gone bad or that CP/M was no longer the most current operating system.

As he gazed upon the Pearly Gates, he came to the conclusion that there had to have been a more elegant was of getting there, other than having a cookie explode in his mouth.
