Twain as ag editor, funny stuff

I am friends with Mark Twain on Facebook (rumors of his death have been exaggerated) and today he excerpted a piece of his hilarious short story How I Edited an Ag Paper. Coincidentally, it's pretty much how I did it a few years back.
I tell you I have been in the editorial business going on fourteen years, and it is the first time I ever heard of a man's having to know anything in order to edit a newspaper.
You really should read it. It's one of my favorite Twain works, which is saying a lot.
