Dav Pilkey cracks me up! My little sister had the first few Underpants books. Okay, my closest book was on the bookshelf in my office and I included the first paragraph with the fifth sentence bolded: The left only Fleet to complete the trifecta of local leadership. But where would I find him? Logic said his home. Locals told me to try him at home. But I had to go with my gut, which led me to his house. From Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not by Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris.

Ok, forgive my absolute analness, but by the "fifth sentence" do you mean, the fifth line or the fifth full sentence complete with a period? Gawd, I really should be a lawyer. Sorry. IP: Logged |
