MY FAVORITE SHORT SENTENCES OF THE DAY

From a Blowfish.com e-mail:

"But then we started getting a bunch of defective ones returned. And it wasn't just any defect -- the things were actually smoking when people turned them on.Obviously, we weren't going to sell a product that could potentially set our customers on fire. We like our customers, and we don't want them to be on fire. "

I was born in NYC, grew up in Pittsburgh, escaped to Brooklyn, and now live in Hoboken, NJ, with my red-headed husband and my pitbull/beagle. Watch this space My Fat Cat and My Fat Dog, diet and exercise books for pudgy pets. I teach and I write: interactive design, screenwriting (there's a character named after me in a Mel Gibson movie), and fiction (my work's appeared in Best American Erotica three times). mgarveynyc at yahoo dotcom
