From lots of folks:
Turn to page 123 in your work-in-progress. (If you haven’t gotten to page 123 yet, then turn to page 23. If you haven’t gotten there yet, then get busy and write page 23.) Count down four sentences and then instead of just the fifth sentence, give us the whole paragraph (that it comes from).
I'm taking something from page 123 of ENDGAME because anything that has yet to be copyedited is still a work-in-progress:

They did what they did--they can't cover it up. They invaded a sovereign state, and they didn’t inform Markos before they tramped through his flowerbed to do it. They're in trouble."
