Subtext and implication aside, any sentence has one job. A few hard-working sentences have two jobs. But if you find a sentence that has taken on three jobs, that ornate, high-living son-of-a-gun is robbing bread from the mouth of at least one shorter sentence and probably two, and should be made to give them up and adopt a simpler lifestyle immediately.

Love them legal sentences with a dozen commas, and semicolons. Legislation and contracts ain't for the faint of heart.
