[net.nlang] Improved version of sentence ending with prepositions

dave@utcsrgv.UUCP (Dave Sherman) (04/02/84)

Mark Brader (dciem!ntt) has pointed out that you can extend the
sentence I posted by quoting it:

	What did you say that the sentence with the most prepositions
	at the end is "What did you throw that book I wanted
	to be read to out of about Down Under out for?" for?
	The preceding sentence has one more.

Of course, I could reply:

	What did you say that the sentence with the most prepositions
	at the end is "What did you say that the sentence with the
	most prepositions at the end is 'What did you throw the book
	I wanted to be read to out of about Down under out for?' for?"
	for? The sentence above has yet one more.

But I won't, 'cause I know what your next reply will be...
