Wait, wait! Better sentence of the week by someone else! This one is by the fine folks at Merriam-Webster, who wrote it to illustrate the correct way to use the word vicarious:
"[B]leeding from the gums sometimes occurs in the absence of the normal discharge from the uterus in vicarious menstruation[.]"
Um, okay.
Number one, eww.
Number two, is it me, or is this the most peculiar possible sentence to help readers ascertain the proper usage of "vicarious"? I mean, yeah, sure, it's correct and all, but...eww. In theory, I'm all about jazzing up the dictionary by using strange, yet concrete examples to put visual images in readers' heads, but, wow.
Number three, eww.
Number four, I believe I would be a bad female with this whole blood phobia thing.

i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
