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.
