"As the hippo's jaws clamped on Henry's body he noted the four huge teeth badly in need of a clean, preferably with one of those electric sonic toothbrushes, and he reflected that his name would be immortalized by his unusual death, since hippo killings are not a daily occurrence, at least not in the high street of Chipping Sodbury"

I personally don't get this one. I'm no expert but to my mind this wasn't a bad opening line. Kind of reminded me of Douglas Adams in a way. (Don't flame me, i know it's nothing like as good).

Hmm:

Ernest's condition could be alleviated by taking the heavily soiled under-garments of an unwashed 90 year old woman and chewing them vigorously for 4 hours. After that, bathing in dog urine for an hour and running up the street naked with a bottle of Uncle Tom's Port in the left hand would guarantee certain results.
