Adverbs on trial

Cheryl Anne Gardner over at The POD People has a copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for a reader who shares one of their favorite adverb-laden sentences.

Deadline is September 30th.

I'll make it easy on you. From Dictionary.com:
any member of a class of words that in many languages are distinguished in form, as partly in English by the ending -ly, or by functioning as modifiers of verbs or clauses, and in some languages, as Latin and English, also as modifiers of adjectives or other adverbs or adverbial phrases, as very, well, quickly. Adverbs typically express some relation of place, time, manner, attendant circumstance, degree, cause, inference, result, condition, exception, concession, purpose, or means.
