I like [1 Samuel 24:13](http://bible.cc/1_samuel/24-13.htm), referenced on that page.

If you want to go for truly quirky, try Esther 10:1. Colloquially, it reads: “And Ahashveros raised taxes everywhere.”

Or my perennial favorite from Acts of the Apostles:

"But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all [ye] that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day."

Acts 2:14-15
