Fun with Auto Summarize

If you need a good laugh sometime, try using Word's "Auto Summarize" feature on your novel.  Just remember to save your novel first, and have it open the summary in a new document!

The shorter the summary, the funnier it is.  According to Word, this is my novel in 10 sentences:

"Victor?" "Victor?" Victor nodded. Victor smiled. Victor.
"Victor."
"Victor. "Victor!" "Victor!" "Victor!

I think I'll be laughing about this one for a while yet.
