The winners are always chosen by popular vote.
I hand over to @AgentPete :
In first place comes this portentous and quasi-apocalyptic starter from Sedayne:
“We didn't inherit the earth, but perhaps we weren't meek enough, and maybe there was nothing left worth inheriting.”
Makes you wonder how it’s going to develop, doesn’t it?
In close second place is this wry opener from Jonny:
“We didn't inherit anything other than an empty tub of margarine and a ball of string, but we were still happy and counted ourselves extremely fortunate.”
Shades of the brothers George and Weedon Grossmith, do you think?
And in third position is Mickleinapickle’s deliciously satirical:
“We didn’t inherit Colonel Blenkinsop’s old blunderbuss so that you could ‘accidently discharge’ a full barrel of buckshot at the president’s fat ass,” he gasped as we hightailed along the freeway with an army of secret service agents in hot pursuit.
Definite Tom Sharpe vibes there – but how does it continue?
Congratulations! Litbits will be added to your account.
