Rules:

1) You can only use three words.

2) You cannot duplicate the previous three words, but the next person can repeat some of the words used in the 2nd previous three words. Ex: Guy 1) He was tired. Guy 2 could not use, the words He, Was, and Tired. So Guy 2) So I slept. Guy 3) Could not use any of the words used by guy 2, but can use some words that guy 1 used. Guy 3) Till it was. And so on and so forth

3) They do not have to make sense.

4) Have fun!

My three words: Today I went.
