"It's been proven by history: all mankind makes mistakes." - Captain Sharp, Moonrise Kingdom
I was in the mood for a Mark Twain anecdote this morning but in the end, decided this takeaway from last night's movie would do. I received a James Thurber quote from a friend this weekend which stirred up memories from an American Humor class I had in college. I own a slightly underlined, highlighted, and marked "USED" paperback copy of The Thurber Carnival. The text has red dots next to the items we reviewed in class. I did not sell this book back to the University because the cash return was not equal to the chuckles I got when revisiting the pages.
