Quotation of the Day for March 16, 2016"It occurred to me that everything we buy has been poked or packaged by some unfortunate nitwit with a hairnet and a wad of cotton stuffed into his ears. Every ear of corn, every chocolate-coated raisin or shoelace. Every barbeque tong, paper hat, and store-bought mitten arrives with a history of abject misery. Vegetarians look at a pork roast thinking about the animal. I'd now look at them wondering whose job it was to package the shallow Styrofoam trays. That's where the real tragedy lies. Cigarettes, crackers, gum: everything I saw would now be tainted by the reminder of my job." - David Sedaris, from his book Naked. Submitted by: Terry Labach Mar. 15, 2016  |
