The finest sentence ever typed in the English language? Quite possibly.
Austin Eavesdropper recounts the saga of John Wayne Chang, president of the Hong Kong Cowboy Association (C.H.A.P.S., for short, somehow) and it’s really not to be missed.
Other competitors for the greatest sentence ever composed, from the same set of correspondence:
- “Maybe you can come to my home and we eat beans together.”
- “When I write about lassoing more brokeback style and you coming to to my home and I show you my gun, well my friend tell me that my English is homosexual…”
- “I am 100% no homosexual and I like cowgirl woman very much!!”
His sincerity is pretty fucking charming, but I’m still having a hard time getting over “my English is homosexual” – there’s a pretty incredible word economy there. Honestly, if Hemingway had figured out a way to put it that succinctly, he’d probably have never shot himself.

Hey Dan, haha. Don’t you want to give JWC (John Wayne Chang) a warm embrace? Thanks for stopping by - I’m glad it tickled you as much as it did me.
