madlibs makin me mad

ok, so here's a madlibs program i've been working on in which there are character strings for the different types of speech required within the madlib. i used a random number generator since i want it to pick a word at random from the list and insert it into the paragraph. compiled it in visual c++ and it came up with no errors or warnings. when i tried to run the program however, it crashed visual c++. please help if you know what i've done wrong here >_<


#include <iostream.h>
