To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas, the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph. -- Mark Twain

But Will It Fit In My Carry On Luggage?

Hysterical! Is that all attached to a lamp? Where's the gizmo to light the guy's cigarette and put it in his mouth for him. I think someone was reading too much Buck Rogers when he dreamed this up.

ReplyDeleteI particularly like the smoking jacket and tie. Terry wears the same outfit as he lounges in the recliner watching TV.
