Here is my long, very long sentence. I bought a water bed that came with a sneaky leak, and I was then too tired to take that water bed back for a refund so I took some clepsydra liquid and sealed the leak, then, the water bed became and was know for being a Greek clepsydra water bed so now when I sleep I swish all over the place like a water eel thats electrically charged to short circuit.

1. My clepsydra is better than yours.

Let's use the clepsydra. When the water is gone, then we should be done getting it on ;)
