Lol. The book nearest me is my mother's Craniosacral Therapy, by John E. Upledger & Jon D. Vredevoogd:
'They are an integral part of the system and are essential to its functional integrity. Cross-restricting diaphragms represent areas of increased stress within the body fascial system; they are therefore frequent sites of fascial system dysfunction.
The term neuromusculoskeletal system is meant to indicate that any division between the nervous system, the muscle system and the skeletal system from a functional point of view is artificial.'
I did these three thinking it was five lines, but they were amusing so I thought I'd put them in anyway:
The Liar, by Stephen Fry
'Something of a gasp ran around the form-room. This was going it a bit strong, even for Healey.
"I beg your pardon?"
"Well, not in front of the whole form, sir. It's rather personal." '
The Gun Seller, by Hugh Laurie
'In the twinkling of an eye I whipped my body into a coiled, taut, come-and-get-it crouch, the electrical cable in my fist and bloody murder in my heart.
But then I realised that I'd dreamt that too, and what I was actually doing was lying in bed watching a large, hairy hand very close to my face. The hand disappeared, leaving a mug with steam coming out of it, and the smell of a popular infusion, sold commercially as PG Tips. Perhaps in that twinkling of an eye I'd worked out that intruders who want to slit your throat don't boil the kettle and open the curtains.
"Time is it?" '
Catch-22, by Joseph Heller
'Yossarian watched him tinkering and felt certain he would be compelled to murder him in cold blood if he did not stop. His eyes moved toward the hunting knife that had been slung over the mosquito-net bar by the dead man the day he arrived. The knife hung beside the dead man's empty leather gun holster, from which Havermeyer had stolen the gun.
"When I couldn't get crab apples," Orr continued, "I used horse chestnuts." '
Anyone who wants to do it, you are tagged. :O
