        Sorry about that.  What the problem is beats me.
What I was going to say was this:

        I once had occasion to write an easy-to-remember
sequence of answers to a multiple-choice test.  That's a
similar task to devising English sentences that are also
valid hex numbers, though I imposed two additional
constraints---I only wanted to use the letters A through
E, and I wanted a roughly equal number of each letter in
the string---which decreased the coherence somewhat.
But I still remember the sequence:

        D. C. cab ace "Bad Abe" acceded:  "A dead bee a decade, babe."
