Adults Say the Darndest Things

I was going to say something about this earlier, but heck, I forgot. The other day, novelist-screenwriter Lee Goldberg posted a selection of hilarious things readers said to him during his recent guest speaking engagement at the Anaheim (California) Public Library. My favorite selection:

A man approached me carrying a half-a-dozen of my books. “So you wrote all these books?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Did you come up with the plots, too?”

“Yes, I did.”

“Wow,” he said. “I wonder how many other writers do that.”

Judging by the quality of a few recent novels I’ve read, the answer may be “not enough.”
