Sweet sentences

I loved these, so of course, I had to share them with the world. (Because - of course - the whole world reads my fabulous blog!)

This first one is a classic...I read it in a book - "The Mysterious Benedict Society" by Trenton Lee Stewart. It's a wonderful book. I read it once, read the sequel and then the sequel to that, and then went back and bought the first book so I could read it again!

"What is wrong with this statement?"

That's a puzzler, for some. Let me know if really can't figure it out.

And then there's this one, which I also read in a book. For those of you who actually use punctuation still, this book is for you - "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss. I loved it so much that somebody gave it to me for my birthday, and frankly, I can't think of a more appropriate gift!

"Is this a rhetorical question?"

Literally unanswerable, no?"

And that one made me think of this one, which is more along the lines of the first "statement"...

"This is a rhetorical question."

Somebody I know actually said that to me...

And this one doesn't really go along with anything else yet; I thought it was worthy to be posted despite that tiny little flaw. It goes thusly (and this little statement is never false!)

"You can read."

And it's less-brilliant little brother-of-a-sentence...

"If you can read this, you can read."
