Carburetor Fantasy

In the US, there are forums to appreciate the best as well as the worst writing in fiction. One such forum, which recognizes the worst writing in fiction is, “Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest”. This year the prize was won by a Microsoft analyst who was ludicrous enough to compare a woman’s breast to the carburetor of a car!!!!

Now that is some imagination!!!! I have always head of instances wherein a female breast is compared to something – somehow men can never stop fantasizing about them – but this one has crossed all the limits and I was nearly rolling around laughing when I read about it in The Hindu yesterday.

The award winning line goes like this –

"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop manual,”

The writer gets to take home $250 for his imagination. Unfortunately he was not available for comments – he is some star I guess!!!

By the way, this is my 50th post in my blog. Not a bad thing to write about on the occasion. ;)
