Whilst not directly useful in this situation (although arguably, this is
not a terribly useful field anyway =), I have been very impressed and
amused in the past by the output of Scott Pakin's Complaint Letter
Generator, which can be found here:
 http://hugin.sigusr1.org/~pakin/complaint

For example:

It's different every time, always gramatically correct & coherent, and
composes very long, contrived and amusing sentences. =)
