A musing anecdote

Sure, getting shot at doesn't sound like everyone's idea of fun. But it makes for a great party story. So does locating a residence you were looking for thanks to the man with no legs flagging you down at the end of the driveway. Or having a woman whose eyes are so close together that she looks like a cyclops ask you what your "situation" is.

These are the stories you get to experience and share when working at a newspaper, which I guess is why they pay so little. This job is all about the money. And the money is good. Maybe I can buy other people's stories with it.
