How about:

        main(street)
        union boss;
        for (crying(); out(); loud();)
        return(trip);
        float a_loan;

Or for f77 (those who can't stand sight of Fortran hit 'n' now):

        integer vitae
        logical choice
        character asasin
        real life
        real cool
        go to hell
C
C  actually possible; first 'assign statement_no hell'
C  where hell is an integer; compiles but won't work with f77 compiler
C  but will on VAX/VMS
C
        stop 'dead in your tracks'
        call girl()
        common cold
