A NaNoWriLess Internet Mystery Novel.
Lost in Translation, from English to...English?

"When she was just a widow she had won a golden medal for best children."

I'm watching the Thanksgiving episode of Good Eats. Alton's history of Thanksgiving mentions Sarah Josepha Hale. I came across this sentence in her Wikipedia article. It's deliciously indecipherable--and so I offer it to you.

That's entirely mystifying. I didn't think it was possible to mangle an idea so completely without misspelling anything.
