   Tom…Umm, we’ve been talking, and—well, there’s no easy way to put this—But are you nuts? Two weeks of nobody northern Ohio “authors” going to book signings? You’re seeing a therapist, right? (Batton Thomas walks out indignantly. Followed by Dinkle, Lillian, Les, and My Father Was John Darling. Possibly also a talking chimp, if he wrote a book)

   Here’s the story of William Jones, Defender of Female Virtue: "He abandoned his first wife and their children in Missouri.

   His second wife was a 12 year old Mexican girl. He abducted her and after a complaint submitted his resignation to President Buchanan before he was fired.

   In 1864 (age 49) he married his 3rd wife, a 15 year old girl he abandoned in 1865 when he moved to Hawaii."
