One Sentence - True Stories Told in One Sentence
ferdinandthebull
When I was 5 or so my mom would tell me to lie down before she tied my tie and I just now realized at the age of 19 that she did this because she's a funeral director.

What are the odds?
I knew God had a sense of humor when I hesitantly answered the ringing K-Mart payphone, only to hear my best friend, who had misdialed my home phone number, on the other end.

Alexandra
As you were breaking up with me, all I could think about were those mornings when you compared the Pop-Tarts and gave me the one with more frosting.

Reno Reading
My 8-year-old sister proudly declared that she knows that "WTF" means "Wow, That's Funny" and has been using it all over the internet.

Ashamed
My atheist neighbor has helped more people in the past year than my entire congregation has in the past ten.

Some of these are very good.

This one hits close to home:

"Everytime I stare at my son's gravestone in the ground, I think of how much a hate his father."

My father raised my brother (half-brother, but I even hate to call him that). His tombstone says "Son of my mom's name and my dad's name". His real father couldn't even come to the funeral. It would kill my brother to know that too. So sad. My mom truly hates his father. Even though my brother had his name. He was the 5th in the generation with that name. Piece of shit. He woudn't let my dad adopt him either. My dad raised him since he was 2. He called my dad "daddy" and called his dad "brother".

7. From Michael Herr's Dispatches about Vietnam
A patrol went up the hill, one guy came back but he died before he could tell what happened.
