The sentence you've always longed to say...

Glenn Close But No Cigar

03:54 / 31.10.07

Simple, really. Which sentence have you always longed to say? What is the speech-act that would bring a smile to you face?

I'll kick off with:

'Boutros Boutros, always a pleasure'.

To whom: the former UN Secretary General of course. Context: An ambassador's reception.

Sorry....

Spoken to someone, about someone else I thought thought he was the ticket.
And who wasn't really.

"They think I'm a tinpot dictator? I'll give them tinpot!"

Me, before entering a rally, for me, in some warm Banana republic.

Of course, I'd be quite benovelent. I'd also be called General Chang.

All hail General Chang.

Speaking of General Chang, and not so much anybody who might want to be called such, I'm suddenly concerned that I may never have yet said "I'd pay real money if he'd shut up about now." Variations or sentences of the same sense, sure, but right on the money? I may feel less inclined when soberer.

I'm locking myself out of my suit.

"People of the world, your attention please. I now have total control of the global weather patterns. In the coming days you will prepare yourself for life under my relatively benevolent rule. Obey me and you will be fairly treated. Resistance will be crushed...utterly. That is all."

"SILENCE THE CHILD OR I SHALL SILENCE IT MYSELF!"

Aaalways wanted to say that during a plane hijack.

Hush ... hush ... your chirruping gives me such exquisite pain ...

"Surely there are only six zeroes in a million—oh, you did? Lovely."

"It's quiet.

Too quiet"

Cue 'splosions.
