Five prepositions? Really?
I got this from Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct, a book I'm finding difficult to read, but this is just brilliant:
Daddy trudges upstairs to Junior's bedroom to read him a bedtime story. Junior spots the book, scowls, and asks, "Daddy, what did you bring that book that I don't want to be read to out of up for?"
