In 50 words or less, can you give us a glimpse of an unusual person you know? Use examples, not description.

Give us a brief verbal sketch of someone you know personally (not, say, a celebrity or a fictional character) who’s out of the ordinary. Avoid adjectives and just tell us about actions or behavior.

This is exactly 50 words, by MS Word’s counter:
