A man came into the bank last week. He walked up to my window to make a deposit and he said, "Hello, Scarface." I was a little caught off-guard and reached my hand up to my face a little bit, afraid that perhaps I had a blemish I had scratched and was now oozing out ugly. Or perhaps my whole appearance that day was a little off, it had been a while since I'd looked in the mirror. The man looked closer at my name-plate and announced that he had read my name wrong.
Today he came back to my window. I remembered him instantly. It's not every day that a beautiful girl such as myself is confused as "Scarface."
Truth of Life
"The more garbage that happens to you, the better you are... Our lives are just vapor, that evaporates. So you'd better make use of what you've got."--Reginald Hill, September 5th 2002, lecture on Anglo-Saxon poetry techniques.
