Today, I saw another example at my friend Evan's blog:
While I am not the biggest fan of McDonald's® I do find their playarea to be a convenient place to sit and talk with my wife without the need for a babysitter.
That's some good writing, Evan.

Good Line
Every once in a while, I see a line that gets me just right, a way of phrasing things that just amuses me no end. A classic example comes from Douglas Adams, who described a fleet of spaceships as "hovering int he air exaclty the way that bricks don't."

You found that amusing? If that's the best you can find in that post I need to improve my writing.
It's hard to describe, Evan, but there are certain phrasings that I never see coming that just amuse me, and I can't explain why.
However, the first time I saw that line, I also had somehow replaced "without" with "about" in my mind, which is probably part of what amuses me so much.
In other words he didn't find you (Evan) nearly as funny as he found himself :P
Which is appropriate in light of his last blog.
