Use the following six words.
Acolyte
Tiddlywinks
Pickles
Galaxy
Is
Razor
The acolyte genuflected in front of the main alter where he hurt his knee on the tiddlywinks. He screamed making Sister Martha jump from her pew and the entire eighth grade class burst into laughter. Father Smythe, who was watching Galaxy Quest in the sacristy nearly spilled his pickle juice but caught it at the last moment. He bit into the three pickles remaining in his hand, chewed quickly and swallowed. He then gulped some of the pickle juice and headed for the alter where Kevin, the acolyte writhed in pain.
“What is your problem, Kevin?” Father asked.
“Tiddlywinks, Father.”
“Well, it’s not like it was a razor for Pete’s sake. Finish lighting the candles.”
Postmortem: Is it necessary to say "in pain" after "writhed?" Does one ever writhe when not in pain?
