“My small hands will get bigger — honestly, magnificent! — as long as I salute the one who controls my every move.”
We swear, they're his own words -- right from his inaugural address!
This week's Style Invitational contest: Choose words from anywhere in that address (we link to a transcript) and write something funny with them.
And we have the winners of our biennial "joint legislation" contest, like this honorable mention:
If Rep. Andy Barr, Rep. Angus King and Rep. Don Bacon cosponsored a bill, it could be:
The Barr-King-Bacon proposal to restrict genetic engineering on animals. Plus 38 more unnatural acts.
In my supplementary column The Style Conversational, I discuss the new contest and results, and share (all the way at the bottom where you can safely avoid them) some totally unprintably tasteless legislation.
