Know any good "example sentences"?

Here's a good one on the importance of capitalisation:

John was helping Uncle Jack off his horse. ;)

I was having a wank and I shot off in her eye. Nothing to do with the OP, I just thought I'd share.
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

Here's a puzzle. Punctuate this sentence so that it makes sense:

John while Jane had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher

(solution below)
Trigger Warning!!!1! :
John, while Jane had "had", had had "had had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher.
I think that language has a lot to do with interfering in our relationship to direct experience. A simple thing like metaphor will allows you to go to a place and say 'this is like that'. Well, this isn't like that. This is like this.

Had had a hat. The hat that Had had had had had "Had" written on it.

Two race horses called wun-wun and tutu

The sentence is

"wun-wun won a race one day tutu won one too."

There was an old WWII newspaper headline;

"British push bottles up Germans"
