It's even been published - printed in an old GAMES magazine, mid-Nineties is my guess, and kudos indeed to the bloke who first thought it up. See our old thread at http:// wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=73860 !

And now some simple ones: "I don't think I'll be here for that meeting" she said absently. "Oh, no, I've burned dinner!" she said crisply. "I think I spent too much money on this Rolex" he said extravagantly. "I plan to make a lot of money!" he said richly. "Let me make you a milkshake," he said smoothly. "Don't walk in here; I broke a glass!" he said sharply.
