Funny, but confusing! You have a penchant for really really really really really really long sentences, I see!

It's more a penchant for subordinate clauses. But I am in therapy and it's helping.

This was damn funny. What a lede!

Funny as a lead - but probably frightening as a fic? However, I AM tempted. So very tempted.

"As Gollum plummetted into the fiery abyss, all the ruined creature could think was how much better hobbit finger would have tasted with ketchup." However, once the digit had been deep fried to perfection, he wished he had taken the time to use just a splash of Cajun seasoning. :>)

Hey! Write your own Simply Awful Opening Lines. Eru knows I write enough of them without really try.

Girl, this is like..uh...like a really big, really long sentence you have written here about Faramir and flotsam (though we know not where jetsam may be hiding, we do know Lord Somebody met his fate in the dark murky waters under the fallen bridge)while Faramir's brother, Boromir, has done something with his brother's money, though you do not say exactly what that may be, as is often the case in such long sentences where the reader forgets what happened at the first of the sentence, leaving the middle of the sentence open to interpretation by those scholars who can actually punctuate such robust prose as you have put to this noble paper in order to make this reader laugh. Huh? :>)

Ah, yes, robust punctuation. The last bastion of the overwordy!

Faramir owed Lord Somebody a LOT of money on bad wagers during the Whore Boffing Competition. Though unfortunate for Lord Somebody, it's somewhat fortunate for Faramir since he can't pay a dead Lord. Equally ironic is that Boromir, who, for whatever reason, has made Faramir short of funds to pay the unfortunate Lord Somebody, likewise failed to grab the man as he slipped beneath the water because pieces of the fallen bridge floated by.

Leaving Faramir to consider that perhaps it is better to always look on the bright side of life, for while the fall of Osgiliath was a terrible stunning blow and all, it did rather get Faramir off the hook.

Aspirin should help the resulting headache. ;)
