" Instead of making sure old books are 'suitable for modern readers,' how about making sure modern readers are suitable for old books." – David Burge, aka Iowahawk

Conversations ...
Book cover designer: "Clip art of bear skin rugs is impossible to find."
Me: "Maybe it'd be easier to find someone with a bear skin rug and ask them to take a picture."
BCD: "Sure. Whatever."
Me (calling old college roommate): "Mac, you still have that bear skin rug we had in the dorm
room?"
Mac: "Yep."
Me: "Can you take some pictures of it and email them to me?"
Mac: "Sure. Can I ask why?"
Me: "It's best you don't."
(receive photos next morning and forward them to BCD)
BCD: "Of course you'd have a roommate with a bear skin rug."
