* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence along with these instructions on your LJ.
* Don't dig for your favourite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
"Oh? So you're stupid, are you?"
-from Monstrous Regiment, by Terry Pratchett.
...technically speaking, the fifth sentence is just "Oh?"
Is that a sentence, or a phatic noise?
From Corporal Strappi, I think it's just phatic. From Sergeant Jackrum, it would be a sentence.
