Someone once challenged Hemingway to write a 6-word story. He did: "For sale: baby shoes, never used". In 2006 the online magazine Smith asked people to write 6-word life stories. The editors of �The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2007� selected some of the results. Here are some samples:
a. Being a monk stunk. Better gay.
b. Found true love. Married someone else.
c. Bad brakes discovered at high speed.
d. Ex-wife and contractor now have house.
e. Savior complex makes for many disappointments.
f. My spiritual path is 100 proof.
g. Wasn�t born a redhead; fixed that.
h. Boyfriend in bed, still a lesbian?
i. Young, skinny, ridiculed. Old, skinny, envied.
j. Discovered moral code via Judy Blume.
k. Hiding in apartment knitting against depression.
l. Near death experiences are my forte.
m. Never really finished anything, except cake.

I decided to try it and found it isn�t all that hard. I thought of several, none as witty as the above, but hey.

Teaching is the icing of life.

What can you say about your life in 6 words?

All told, never bought or sold.

not sure what that means, but certain it will seem very corny in about 5 minutes.

Could be something worth trying in a classroom, but it's probably been done to death already.

Lower mathematics is difficult for some. Very Happy Neither 5 nor 7 is 6.

Let's keep to the 6-word rule. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Please repeat as often as necessary.
