These are all randomly selected from the copy of "Moby Dick" sitting by my desk using the highly scientific method of closing my eyes and pointing to the page.
1. O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but disease.
2. Without imagination no man can follow another into these halls.
3. The whale-line is only two-thirds of an inch in thickness.
4. Now, how had this noble rescue been accomplished?
5. Oh, devilish tantalization of the gods!

Dodge City, Kansas
Circa 1876
(1.) "O young ambition, all mortal greatness is but disease." So spoke Doc Adams as he sat in his office on a warm May day. Just as he was finishing up on a paper he was writting....entitled...."The Life Cyle of Sheep Liver Flukes".....a REAL page turner, he heard someone coming up the stairs to his office. The door opened and in stepped Festus. "Talk about FLUKES," Doc laughed!!! Festus looked a bit confused and then decided that Doc had probably been a nipping at his bottle of whisky, half hidden behind a book.
"You been a'readin' this here thang, have you ,Doc!" He picked up the book and leafed through it. "THAT, my fine fellow is entitled, 'Moby Dick." Festus giggled. "Oh,hush up,you lamebrain!" And with that he headed out the door.
"Well whar ya a' goin' in such a rush, Doc?" "I'm headed for the Longbranch." "Well wait for me," yelled Festus!
As they were about to go through the swinging doors of the best drinking establishment in town, Doc turned to Festus....(2.)" Without imagination no man can follow another into these halls." Festus stared at him, burped , and made a bee-line for the bar. Doc saw Kitty sitting at one of the tables and sat down beside her. Kitty Russell, long time owner of the Longbranch, was still trying to get over her heartbreak of losing U.S.Marshal Matt Dillon, to the new lady in town....Miss Sunshine MacGillicutty. "Hello, Doc. Sit yourself down. ...SAM? Bring Doc a beer, would you?" Doc thanked her and rubbed his face, as is his wont. "Kitty? How are you doing....and I want to know the truth!" Kitty smiled, took another swig of Randy Scouse Git Rotgut and shouted out....
(3.) "The whale-line is only two-thirds of an inch in thickness."
Doc jumped a foot at the volume that this inane line was delivered! "What the hell did you just say," he asked?" Kitty took out the clips from her flamming red hair and shook her head violently..."Muhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," she squealled!!!! Doc, with the help of a few others got her up to bed. (4.) Now, how had this noble rescue been accomplished? Well it wasn't easy. Kitty was trying to dance an Irish Jig all the way up the stairs!!!
Doc grabbed the Rotgut from her hand, as she finally got in bed. Kitty tried to wrestle him for it but soon collapsed in a drunken stupor! As he went to the open window and poured it out, he muttered to himself....(5.) "Oh, devilish tantalization of the gods!"

A frightening scene occurred on Saturday last in our borough . A riding mower took off at a speed of 60 mph with the good burgher aboard." I think this is a bit of a sticky wicket, my good man." I intoned as I watched from behind one of my rose bushes. "Somebody call Scotland Yard!" In the middle of the chaos, a scream could be heard" and above that, the roar of arriving constables."This is terrible! I yelled from the bush. "Just the facts maam" The stoic officer replied. The Queen has made her decision. We have a sniper here to take out the mower. The shot and then the death rattle of the mower. The poor man stumbled from the wood babbling "I think my guardian angel may be a bit deranged. Ahhhhhh.....Total quiet...At Last!!
