"MARTIN HAMMOND, a speech therapist from New York, spoke for half an hour on the `The psychological ontogeny of sibilant speech impediments' before anyone realized that he was talking about the psychological reality of a different type of lisp; whereupon he was removed from the workshop by the security guards."
Think about coming up with the phrase "the psychological ontogeny of sibilant speech impediments" in an era with no world wide web!
Today if you just search for speech impediments, you instantly gain access to the vocabulary without leaving your seat, so you can slap together lines like this without that much effort.
FTA: "The social program was just as successful as the rest of the workshop. Instead of the usual boring conference banquet, Schank organized a game of touch football (Home v. Visitors), which the Yale team won 14-9."
