I can't say ANYTHING in just 6 words....Can you?

The local newspaper had a story on Sunday about creating a memoir in 6 words. It was based on a dare made to Ernest Hemingway that he couldn't write a short story in 6 words. He wrote, "For sale, baby shoes. Never worn." So, Smith magazine challenged its readers to write a memoir in 6 words. They collected the best and put it in a book. Some examples included,

For sale, wedding dress. Worn twice.

So good. So bad. So long.

Met, Chicago. Married, Detroit. Divorced, Atlanta.

I've been working on mine for several days, and am still completely stumped!!! I'll post when I figure it out.
What's yours?
