Had to share this, Dan McKay's winning entry in the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest:
"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual."
It gets no better than this for the gearhead boy. Ah, yes, Chapter Seven... *g*
