I once wrote a book called How to Keep an Idiot Entertained
for Hours. It went like this: To keep an idiot entertained for hours, read the
next sentence. To keep an idiot entertained for hours, read the previous
sentence.” It didn’t sell very well.
I thought with the short attention
span of people these days it may have been too long, so I rewrote it. The 2nd
edition went: “To keep an idiot busy for hours, re-read this sentence.”
It’s doing pretty good. I have a deal for the sequel. The 3rd edition is
going to go: “Re-read this line.”
Trouble is, I’m not as sharp as I used
to be, so it’s become my favorite book to curl up with on a rainy day. It
absorbs me for hours.
