Heard this on R4 yesterday.
Ernest Hemmingway apparently bet someone he could write a story using
only six words, he subsequently submitted the following example:
- For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
Based on this, a publisher has produced a book full of six word
memoirs, called "Not quite what I was planning". Details here
http://www.smithmag.net/sixwords/
Amusing examples include:
- Met true love. Married someone else.
- Wasn't born a redhead. Fixed that.
- After Harvard, had baby with crackhead.
All good stuff. So after the briefest consideration, here's mine:
- Mostly in wrong order. Better perhaps?
