Twitter competition #1

A little competition for Twitterers and non-Twitterers alike: write a sentence of up to 140 characters (including punctuation and spaces) in which no letter is used the same number of times as any other letter. The closer you can get to 140 characters the better, though the best entries may come up a couple of characters short.

As usual, answers in the comments, please.

(1st place, 10 points; 2nd place, 5 points)

Looking through some old books, I found the following numbers written on a blank page in the back of a novel. They were written by my grandad approximately 40-50 years ago.



What are they? I probably used to know, but I don't know now.
