Scariest woman I ever knew. Mrs Hall went to visit an author friend in the hospital. He was complaining about a miss-spelled word in a magazine article he wrote. Mrs Hall said "what's the big deal?. The author replied "mrs Hell, it makes a hall of a difference". Miss-spelled words in a magazine may not be important, but it is sloppy, IMHO. Tony V. |
