English interesting anecdotes

Sentence without letter 'e'

Once Ishwarchandra Vidyasagar jokingly asked Michael Madhusudhan Dutt, "As you are a master in English, can you make a sentence without using 'E'?" He wrote this...

"I doubt I can. It’s a major part of many many words. Omitting it is as hard as making muffins without flour. It’s as hard as spitting without saliva, napping without a pillow, driving a train without tracks, sailing to Russia without a boat, washing your hands without soap. And, anyway, what would I gain? An award? A cash bonus? Bragging rights? Why should I strain my brain? It’s not worth doing."
