Six-Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak

There's a new book by Larry Smith and Racher Fershleiser called Six-Word Memoirs on Love and Heartbreak. In it, authors post their stories of the above-mentioned in only six words. Then I heard a radio show on the book, and listeners emailed stories of their own that were read on the air. Here are some memorable examples I've heard and seen:

First comes love, then comes stalking.

Tell her I'm taller in person.

Two engagement rings, no wedding band.

Coffee and cigarettes, so I lied.

Straight A student, now flunking judgment.

Not having sex. Husband likes cock.

We fight, we apoligize, we love.

Too lazy to write six.

I got a big kick out of these, so I wrote one myself AND I challenge all of you to write one and post it here, in the comments.

Here's two I wrote (feel free to post more than one):

Too liberal for most around here.

Not really in the market anymore.

Now, let's have some of yours--- It'll be fun!

Congress approved the plan last fall, but members of both parties criticized spending decisions by the Bush administration and former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.

Financially ailing insurance giant American International Group, deemed by the Treasury Department to be too big to be allowed to fail, received $40 billion from the Treasury for assets valued at $14.8 billion, the oversight panel found.
