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 37:

Misery is something that frequently follows people who refuse to eat their vegetables. Last Tuesday, a frazzled doctor attempted to diagnose my neighbor after discovering an unusual birthrate among his chickens. The doctor was disgusted by their horrendous behavior and ordered immediate imaging tests. Unfortunately, the results revealed a genuine case of depravity, caused by excessive oxidation and radon exposure. His wife, wearing a lambskin pillbox hat, searched for a curable solution. Meanwhile, the neighbors formed a solidarity committee to thwart the disease. Their leader promised to refinish the hospital and peddle miracle medicine. A deceptive salesman arrived with caches of herbs supposedly incubated beneath a larch tree, accompanied by holiness and calypso music. The doctor became sweaty but refused and shirked his duties. A petal landed in a puddle, making everyone's hearts pulsate. The thickness of the medicine was alarming. After the hospital was vacated, the patients received Oscars for doing absolutely nothing. What would ensue? Nobody knew, but to them, the chickens certainly did. The past was forgotten, and nobody had to flog anyone for negligence.
