Ripped from the headlines

Mrs. Emma Jeane Johnston was buried by her husband and son, who preceded her in death.

I think the word to use in this case is “beside” and not “by,” but I don’t think Stephen King could have written it any creepier.

Monday morning writing joke: I’m a writer and I don’t get no respect

I'm a writer and I don't get no respect

Nothing in the vows says to have and to hold until imagination does you part.

My wife told me I had to stop writing. She said I was having more fun with my imaginary friends than I was with her. I said, So? Big mistake. Big mistake. I forgot what a wallup a real person packs. My oral surgeon said one or two more surgeries and I’ll be almost as good as new. I’ll only have to take the dentures out once a day.
