In other news, I was reading The Education of Hyman Kaplan--amusing short stories about English as a foreign language night school in 1930s New York--and I came across an assignment that I think we should all take on.

From The Return of Hyman Kaplan, Leo Rosten (Leonard Q. Ross), 1959:
"I shall write five words on the blackboard," Mr. Parkhill said, picking up a piece of chalk. "Use each word in a sentence, a--er--full sentence, that is. Five words, therefore five sentences." He smiled. There was no harm in leavening the bread of learning with the yeast of levity. [...]

In large block letters, he printed:

1. CHISEL
2. LAMP
3. GROAN
4. POTATOES
5. CLIMAX

Any fandom, any pairing. Go.

I'll start us off. )
