Best explanation?
"He had to kill the Mexican after he blinded him. Blind, the
man wouldn't
have been able to find any work." Charles Willeford (writing
of Hoke Moseley
in "The Way We Die Now")
Best opener?
"It was the kind of place where if you didn't spit on the
floor at home you
could go down there and do it." Jim Thompson ("The Tomcat
That Was Treetop
Tall")
I know that the call was for sign-offs only. I got carried
away.
