+ During a break at work a friend was reading the super scary Stephen King book: Pet Sematary. I had just finished the book myself and asked, “How can you stand to read such a scary book?” She replied, “I close my eyes during the scary parts.”

+  Socialite A: “Darling, I read your book last night. Who wrote it for you? ”   Socialite author: “I am so glad you liked it. Who read it to you?”

# Each year Army reserve officers from every walk of life practice being a soldier during their two-week annual training. As an active duty officer during one such training at Fort Jackson South Carolina was having trouble getting a lesson across to a reservist. “Look,” I said, “it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to get this right.” They reservist stopped looked straight at me and replied, “but I am a rocket scientist.”
