I'll admit: at times I go off the deep end, if only for literary flourish. But I hope those moments are at least entertaining, if not thoughtful (though my aim potentially f(l)ailed in that regard).
- jbooth 15y agoI thought it was hilarious, your take on the old lawyer-2-bullets joke made me laugh out loud on the train.

But maybe there isn't enough content buried in the entertainment?" Don't get me wrong, I love being entertained. But it's a delicate balancing act and, I guess, the balance is different for every reader and even for the same reader on different occasions :)
