re: #80 SanFranciscoZionist

From a contest in which people were challenged to turn a well-known prose passage into single-syllable words:

The Man can take your land to make a wide road, or a park, but he has to pay. Not through the nose, just pay.

My favorite entrant, though, did the opening paragraph of “Huckleberry Finn”. This paragraph mentions “the widow” and “Mary” several times. These are rephrased as “her whose mate died” and “her with the same name as her who had no sex but had a son who some say was the son of God”, the whole phrase repeated as many times as Twain uses the name “Mary”.

Too bad every instance of “her” in those phrases should read “she”…
