    Two sorts of people

    The idea is to write a first line that starts with the words
    "There are two sorts of people..."
    For example:-
    There are two sorts of people, those who meet your eye and those who avoid it, the Mexican was of the latter variety.
    or:-
    There are two sorts of people, those who look speculatively at your wife and those who look that way at you, I prefer it when the latter are women.
    Over to you:-

    There are two sorts of people, those who sleep in the nude and those who don't, the latter have cleaner sheets.

    Every body belives in two sorts of people, even if it's only "them and us", or possibly "the rest of the world and me", that's called "sane and mad" by everyone else.

    There are two sorts of people, those who lie and those who tell the truth, of course you never know which is which.

    Not me. I tend to believe there are LOTS of sorts of people. Anybody who doubts this I can send them addresses of transvestite bars.

    There are two sorts of people, those who know the addresses of transvestite bars and those who don't care, the young Mexican translator obviously belonged to the former category, his older companion was past caring long ago.

    And I thought it was only Americans who didn't have a sense of humour and needed everything spelled out. Clearly I was wrong.

    There are two sorts of people - those who keep on top of their Private Messages, and those who don't.

    There are two sorts of people; those who naïvely believe a forum with a name like WritingForums is for writers, and those who know that every fuckwit who ever drew breath belongs to every forum they can find.

    There are two sorts of people; those who wipe from back to front, and those who wipe from side to side.
