Re: Book humor



When reading these quotes, I couldn't help but think of the lady who called
me while I was managing a surveying equipment store in Sacramento (home of
Bookmine) several years ago.

I can't quote her verbatim, and the conversation was quite lengthy before I
finally was able to calm her down, but she was absolutely insistent that I
sell her whatever device was needed to prevent the government's surveillance
satellites from seeing her in her car as she drove. When I explained that
this does not happen, she was even more insistent that it indeed did happen;
the government put little round things in the pavement, and the spy
satellites could see you in your car as you drove over them.

Thanks for a great laugh, Tom
