Fun with Manglement books, snatches of song and poetry:

A Remarkable Way to Boost Morale and Improve Results becomes: Poisson! A direction remarkablly the moral and improves returns she stops is consolidates A silly old ditty: row row row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream becomes: the rudders the line of the line your boat, easy in the surface more under possible of the startings, merrily merrily merrily, the life you are nevertheless a dream A summing-up (=misquote) of a not-entirely-unknown soliloquy: Whether to take arms against a sea of troubles, or to sleep, perchance to dream, that's the question. becomes: If the arms made the examinaci\ufffdn, of that contraddicono a sea of the difficulties, or dream, the being dreammed for the case, that it is the question.

The soliloquy
To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them.
Relativo or Nichtsein, is the question. If ' tis more splendid in the alcohol to undergo to the sustenations and the arrows under dishonourable wealth the end to finish or the arms satisfying them to a sea difficulties and the end to make examinaci\ufffdn d of the opposition. I think someone has a pre-beta of Microsoft Legal Filing XP. ===

w00t! Hey, how 'bout a contest?
Try to guess which common English-language aphorisms the following come from:
1. Diami the freedom or diavi I them inoperative women!
2. How much it is in them evaluates two in the value of shrubs.
3. All the sleeve of, of that the extremities there is dew outside.
4. It admits easy how much format.
Many fears are born of stupidity and ignorance -
Which you should be feeding with rumour and generalisation.

nit: I *think* the underscores are missing words
At least, that was my impression when I ran into them doing my own verbal genuflections. So no fair. :D
and I believe #1 is look before you leap.
#2 might be if wishes were horses? (in Gladiator, he points out two horses on his armor and names them Sca(r)to and Argento: Trigger and Silver)

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

OK,here you go:
Your: I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. becomes: _ conferm of two Is this we Atheisten. _ straight-line cred to God small the one that is that you of this form. _ if you stop to transform include/understand, because you disegn of the piece all the remaining possible God, you include/understand, because disegn of I of the piece he. _ That last sentence, especially, turned out rather nice.
