A Couple of Funny Conversations
Hi there,
This is going to be a quickie newsletter but I just had a couple of funny things thought I’d share them with you.
So, yesterday I was in a cab going uptown and the cabdriver turned and asked me, “Who do you want to win?”
Me: Either of the Davids is fine. I like David Archuletto and David Cook. “How about you? Who do you want?
Cabdriver: I like Hillary Clinton.
Hahahahaha! Funny, right? Boy did I feel stupid. I do have one question though. What is it with David Archuletto’s tongue? Is it me or is that tongue too big for his mouth?
Then, a few moments ago, I went into this Halloween store because I was getting my Audrey Hepburn costume ready for my reading. Yes, I’m going all out and I hope you will too. This is one of those places where all the help is in costume with full makeup and multiple tattoos and piercings. I was standing at the counter and the guy ringing me up was talking to another guy who I think was hitting on him.
Counter guy: I hate this F*%$#@@# store. After this Halloween season, I’m quitting.
Guy trying to pick up counter guy: Yes, you should. Then you can do something meaningful with your life, something huge.
Counter guy: Yeah, I could work at Banana Republic or even the Gap.
Guy trying to pick up counter guy: Right on, man. Hey, do you know what I want to see really bad?
Counter guy: What?
Guy trying to pick up counter guy: Blue money. Why doesn’t the government make blue money?
Counter guy: F*%$#@@#ing government. You know who they should put on the dollar? Hillary Clinton. That would be cool.
Guy trying to pick up counter guy: Yeah, you know if she wins, she’d be the first woman president, I think. I mean, she would, right? Was there another one?
Counter guy: I don’t think so. Not in my lifetime.
Okay, that’s it. Hope these conversations gave you a chuckle. They did me, especially the conversation between dumb and dumber. If I’ve offended you by making fun of dumb people, please forgive me. I’d rather not hear from the dumb friends league on this one.
Oh, one more thing, as long as you’ve read this far…don’t forget that Holly Would Dream comes out in fifteen days on June 3, 2008. You might want to mark that in your calendar.
And remember, if you’re going to be in New York or Denver in June, come see me read from Holly Would Dream. American Idol and Dancing with the Stars will be over and you’ll be looking for something fun to do. Be sure to wear your favorite little black dress.

PS Last time I sent out a newsletter, my Ivy screenwriters were hurt because I didn’t mention them. So I am mentioning them now. Hi Stan! Hi Jim! Miss ya. Love ya. Let’s do lunch. [This is how people talk in Hollywood.]
