By the way, when we were creating these puzzles using randomized lists of words, we often thought of a silly game we played as children. We would take a dictionary (or a book, magazine or newspaper), randomly open it and with our eyes closed, drop our fingers onto the page. Whatever words they landed on would be written down. This would be repeated a few times until we basically had a jumbled list of words. Then we would challenge each other to come up with a story using these words. The stories would almost always be pure nonesense. But sometimes they were pretty hilarious. Give it a try, it's a lot of fun!
____________
Here's what we came up with using the word list from Puzzle 1:
"Drat!" thought the waking chef, as he gazed on the misty, windswept cityscape. He was leaning against the creaking doorway of the cannery while feebly fondling the doorknob with his ambidextrous hands. He knew proctors that still revere the clergy. They gravitate to, and appreciate the sincerity of, the pilgrim. But he had an obsessive need to find a scapegoat which he could not surpass. Just then his adopted benefactor arrived in a jeep and handed him a punishing memento. The chef despaired. He wished to reprove the bureaucrat for always dramatizing: "Must you synchronize your arrivals to such a degree?" Yes, this would exacerbate the situation, but abatement was hardly possible. He put on his bifocal glasses to look at the paradigm which he could liken to an exceeding feature that once induced him to resemble an exerting spartan standing on hind legs. He went back inside, turned on the refiner, and made turpentine gravy.
