I'm not sure I'll find another sentence to beat the following, found just last night in a paper on More's Utopia:
"When another island or nation gets a wild hair in their a** to come and take the island, the Utopians hire mercenaries to come in and take care of their dirty work."

Gentle Sir Philip Sidney, thou knew'st what belong'd to a scholler; thou knew'st what pains, what toil, what travail conduct to perfection.
About Me
- Piers
- West Tennessee, United States
- "I am grown at length to see into the vanity of the world more than ever I did, and now I condemn myself for nothing so much as playing the dolt in print . . . . There is nothing that if a man list he may not wrest or pervert. I cannot forbid any to think villainously, Sed caveat emptor, let the interpreter beware; for none ever heard me make allegories of an idle text."

"A wild hair in their a**", eh?
Now, do tell -- did the student use asteriks so as not to offend his/her prof's delicate sensibilities, or did you insert them so as save ours?
(And I don't know -- the baseball sentence from last year still might have this one bested.)
This is a fambly blog ;-) . . . my student had no such delicacy.
