QUOTES/JOKES

1. A writer comes home to a burned down house. His sobbing and slightly-singed wife is standing outside. “What happened, honey?” the man asks. “Oh, John, it was terrible,” she weeps. “I was cooking, the phone rang. It was your agent.

2. Did you hear about the writer who jumped out the window on the 15th floor? He could have gone to the 16th, but that's another story.
