<p><strong>[4] ‘I would imagine a horse drawn carriage would be a really ugly thing. For starters, it must be almost impossible to grip a pencil with hooves. Plus there is all that fine detail around the edges to consider.’ [Brett Andy]</strong></p>
<p><strong>[6] &#8220;I think the story of Hansel and Gretel teaches us that it&#8217;s okay to push old people into ovens. But only if they first tried to eat you.&#8221; [Brett Andy]</strong></p>
<p>and</p>
<p><strong>[5] &#8220;After watching the cricket for five days, I thought to myself, &#8220;I&#8217;ve got to get myself a more interesting bug!&#8221; [Brett Andy]</strong></p>
<p>Which deep thoughts by Brett Andy will dominate in round II &#8211; I am looking for your top one to three and then which one do you think most deserves to be cut from the list? [Votes in the comments section below &#8211; thank you for your time]:</p>
<p>[1] &#8216;She barked twice, following it with a low gutteral growl, &#8220;Oh no!&#8221; I thought, &#8220;Timmy has fallen into the well.&#8221;&#8216; [Brett Andy]</p>
<p>[2] &#8216;Who would win if a T-Rex got into a fight with a man? Answer: The man. Did I mention it was an intellectual fight? [Brett Andy]</p>
<p>[3] &#8216;Sure, he had attracted all the rats of the city, but what now? thought the Pied Organist to himself.&#8217; [Brett Andy]</p>
<p>[4] &#8216;I realised I&#8217;d been making a mountain out of a molehill. The mole family, in particular, was not amused.&#8217; [Brett Andy]</p>
<p>[5] &#8216;If you ever want to show off a new shoelace-tying technique you&#8217;ve invented to your long-time girlfriend, I don&#8217;t think the best way to introduce it is by saying, &#8220;Hey, I&#8217;ve got something to show you,&#8221; and then going down on one knee.&#8221; [Brett Andy]</p>
<p>[6] &#8216;Pow. The Rice Crispy who left before the group went big.&#8217; [Brett Andy]</p>
<p>[7] &#8216;I was walking down a dark alley the other day updating my Twitter account when I noticed that someone had just started following me.&#8217; [Brett Andy]</p>
