} Dear and foolish Alyssa, never fear, Omni is here! (With his good friend
} Scient.) Here's your outline:
} I. Introduction
} A. Introductory paragraph in its entirety follows (Guaranteed A here!)
} "The influence of Spam and Velveeta on Hellenic architecture cannot be
} denied. My reaction to being assigned this assignment which, as you
} may remember, is an assignment to write a 20-page paper on the assign-
} ed topic, the influence of Spam and Velveeta on Hellenic architecture,
} the topic that was assigned to me, was `Wow! What an undeniable infl-
} uence my assigned topics, Spam and Velveeta, had on Hellenic Arch-
} itecture!'" (This prose style is going to give you 20 pages in about
} two hours, after which you can go out and party.)
} B. Follow-up paragraph in its entirety
} "What an influence Spam and Velveeta had on Hellenic Architecture! *
} Hellenic architecture was influenced by the influence of Spam and
} Velveeta!
} -----
} * (FOOTNOTE) : Spam, in Greek, is of course spelled Spamos. Velveeta,
} due to the frightening lack of v's in Greek, was spelled Welweeta, and
} then Eleeta after digamma, the Greek W, just kind of folded up and
} died one day. It went something like this:
} Aristotle: `Why would we want whiskers?'
} Plato: `Why wouldn't we want whiskers, wishy-washy wart?'
} Socrates: `I can't play this game to save my life! The letter W,
} also known in Greek as digamma, despite the fact that it looks
} like two gammas about as much as sorority girls look like Greek
} scholars, is now officially DEAD! Dies irae, dies illa!'
} Plato: `Hat ill e do no?'
} However, since this is not my topic, I will only devote the amount of
} space I've already devoted to it to it. We will use the traditional
} English spellings, which are once again, S-P-A-M (not Y-U-C-K), and
} V-E-L-V-E-E-T-A (not O-R-G-A-S-M-I-C), for the rest of this paper."
} (Triple-space this and you've got two pages already!)
