Original Thoughts

I'm taking part in this online game called Cut Throat Island - sort of a bloodier version of Survivor. And as part of the game we are faced with challenges which are judged by our "host" and/or his designate.

Anyway, our current challenge (as we are now competing as individuals), is to come up with a sentence of at least six English words (excluding names, numbers and dates) that is completely original to any other sentence ever spoken, written or thought of. HUH!?!

I thought this would be a piece of cake, but of course, how can any thought truly be original? Everything we think of is in some way or another related to something we have heard or read or seen - probably most often subconsciously...right?

Then I think of screen writers or comedians and those people are paid to be original and interesting...so they write up their little sketch or movie scene and think 'hey this is pretty terrific - no one's thought of this before!' - but really, how do you know that? Someone somewhere has surely thought the same thing at some point in time - sure they might not have published it, they may not have the same outlet for their thoughts, but it can't REALLY be authentic in originality, can it?

So now I'm screwed and am likely going to get my throat bloodied following this challenge - if not completely cut wide open! Ugh.
