I know!

I was so amused by this.

I think the third one is the funniest.

So, do people TRY to write the worst opening line, or do they find them in real books? Because the first two have a wicked case of run-on sentences.

I think people try to write them, try to make them so bad. I loved the first and second because they did look like something a person would write.

I was quite amused as well.
