Dave Mack: The funniest sentence you've ever written

[Tom Riker]

Shades of gray drifted into view from the left side of the viewscreen and soon dominiated the ships forward view.

*snortle*

Takes on a whole new meaning these days dude.

LOL!

I actually read the book out of curiosity, and I think it's one of the cleverest trolls on humanity ever put on paper - I don't remind romance fiction at all, but ohmigod is that stuff bad. My favorite line? "Don't worry, you expand too."

On the subject of perfectly innocent lines that nonethless conjure amusing images in the reader's mind, my favourite is in Plagues of Night when a machine "emits a series of trills". This made me briefly picture a sequence of spotted humanoids cheerily emerging from the device like clowns out of a little car.

I am quite frankly shocked that no Trek novel has ever (to my knowledge) contained even one Eav'oq joke.

And there went the drink I had in my mouth.

It's less funny when read in context of the complete original sentence:

A titanic, pale blue gas giant with rings of varying shades of gray drifted into view from the left side of the viewscreen and soon dominated the ship’s forward view.
