How to talk like a spy.

It's Friday, and I'm bored at work. In fact, all of us are bored - I work in a Learning and Development team with two other people (one of them my boss) and together we have spent the day so far coming up with a secret code, Russian-spy style, to make talking about work a bit more fun. Our best efforts so far are:

"The red squirrel flies at night."
"The black dog walks in the noon-day sun."
"The blue lake freezes in winter."

Are you noticing a pattern? Very bascially, we're looking at:
[definite article][colour][noun][verb][temporal descriptor]
Can anyone come up with more spy-phrases? Let me know and we will incorporate them into our repertoire!
