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.”
Now, if I could just find the time to write it.
