When he was testifying recently he came out with the longest run-on sentence I had heard for some time. All I could think of was how to diagram that sentence. It was hilarious, but I have deleted my notes or I would reproduce it.
While I'm not an English teacher, diagramming sentences has always been one of my favorite parts of grammar school English. If a sentence is diagrammable it will usually make sense to others.

.....gave me a horrible flashback
Same. Went to Catholic school and the nuns were obsessed with sentence diagramming. I kinda sucked at it.
This does remind me that diagramming sentencing was my most favorite thing to do in english class.
