Another thread got me thinking about these. My all-time favourite is in a keys to scathophagid genera by Sifner:

32(31) Fore tibiae interiorly with one to two rows of very short bristles or without them
-- Fore tibiae with or without anterodorsal row of distinct bristles


It does almost make sense if you KNOW what he tries to say. Almost.
