Sentence: Art Fulretort was the office wag. He was clever enough and could be very droll in his assessments of people and events. He had always been the class clown in school and now had a broader audience on which to practice his comedy craft. He was so full of confidence that his humor was better than others that he entered the America's Got Talent Contest. So infarceuated was he with his schtick that he failed to hear the 3 judges bang their red X buttons in record time and the audience boo him off the stage. Art's not going to Vegas...

Etymology: Infatuated (obsessed with; marked by foolish or unreasoning fondness) & Farce (a comedy characterized by broad satire, wit and improbable situations)
