Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest

The annual bad writing contest put on by the San Jose State English Department has announced its winners - and I have to say that I think the runner up deserves further consideration:

When Detective Riggs was called to investigate the theft of a trainload of Native American fish broth concentrate bound for market, he solved the case almost immediately, being that the trail of clues led straight to the trainmaster, who had both the locomotive and the Hopi tuna tea.

Impressive doesn't begin to cover this amazing display of pun-ditry.
