best opening line ever

I thought of like the best opening line ever for this funny noirish detective thing I'm working on.

Too bad the goodness of the opening line outstrips pretty much everything else.

Maybe I should try working on the characters and the plot. Before just writing from the first line and letting it amble on its own.

Oh plot and character-driven fiction, how you elude me :D

I'm not revealing the opening line, but it's so awesome and nerdy.
