Sandra, you beat me to it! I thought of that Leunig quote, too, but I had to go to choir practice, so I didn't have time to type it.

Here's some more Leunig:

The value of the soul plunged yesterday to its lowest level in five years

Experts said nothing

One person invested in a smile

There were rumours about a small child who had flown over the city on a carpet of rose petals

A meteor plummeted and a few wishes were made

Certain things slid and cracked but a cheer rose up and a dog barked playfully. A violin was heard too
