That Sam-I-Am! Are we are all that Sam? I Am.

The greatest bet in the history of English literature was when Bennett Cerf challenged Ted Giesel thusly: "Can you write a book using only 50 words?" 

To which the good doc responded, "I can.". 

These are the 50 words:

a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, you
