QUOTES/JOKES

*****

1. The Great Writer There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.  

When asked to define great, he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"  

He now works for Microsoft writing error messages.

2. What did the writer say when he glued himself to his book? That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

3. I told my old classmate at our 10-year reunion that I'm a writer. "Oh yeah?" he asks. "Have you sold anything yet?" I said, "Sure. My house, my car, and all my stuff."
