Famous last words.

The depression associated with the disvolving of a romantic relationship is less severe than the ennui originating from the lack of such emotional connections.

Your inability to discern the true essence of that which is comprised of such elements as foliated life forms of the sedentary variety is due to your unwavering focus on those very same elements to the exclusion of their existence in a greater context.

Don't run with sissors.

I am irritated to the point that I can no longer handle these reptiles engaging in a inappropriate sexual act with a matriarcle figure on board a airboune vehicle, also engaging in a similar sexual act.

The bulldozer outside his kitchen window was quite a big one. (had to look it up in my Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... maybe try to stick to sayings and not obscure quotations?)

Individuals residing in domiciles constructed entirely of transparent sheets of fused sand would be well advised not to hurl bits of terra firma through the air.

While visiting a place with strange customs, such as the Etruscans might have, it behooves you to adopt those same customs.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

An increase in the size differential between an individual relative to the median size of some subgroup against which that individual may be judged, results in a commensurate increase in the eventual impact force of said individual when succumbing to the inevitable effects of gravity.

Edit: The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

The frozen dairy beverage of mine made through use of a blender and often including tasty flavorings such as vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or other fruits affects young males of the species homo sapiens in such a way as to lure them to a large enclosed area often covered with grass.

The fact that, within 24 hours, the radiation generated by the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium under the pressure of gravity will be detectable by those on the inward side of the earth is of sufficient certainty that one would be prudent to put the entirety of one's assets at risk regarding said fact.

The optimum outcome would be to refrain from verbalizing and be marked as possibly a person of the lowest order in the outmoded classification scheme (now subsumed in a revised hierarchy) of mental retardation, than to asseverate inchoate thoughts and confirm said low ranking as a certainty.
