The Only One

There is only one yawn in existence. It passes from person to person in the space of a blink. Extremely contagious, you can catch it by sight alone. This person, that person, a person in the next room. Who will catch it next? You, me, your grandmother? Watch for the yawn and see.

"There is only one yawn in existence." That first line is epic. A very witty way of starting the the thought that it's contagious. Lines 1-3 are my fav.
