A Few Observations, a Question,
and Some Free Advice

 

A man with occasional impotence adds suspense to almost any story.

As you age, adverbs slow down.

Love is a beautiful thing in the dark, smooth as a polished stone you skip across the surface of a pond in the morning.

If you can’t remember what you’ve forgot, have you forgot?

Some movies end long before they’re over, and others are over long before they end.

If you want to make people laugh, tell them you’re funny.

The last thing you should do is give free advice.
