“They walked in straight lines that the dogs scribbled all over.”

“He hung up on me.I stared at the phone in disbelief, then ripped a clean sheet of paper from my notebook. I scribbled Jerk on the first line. One the line beneath it, I added, Smokes cigars. Will die of lung cancer. Hopefully soon. Excellent physical shape.I immediately scribbled over the last observation until it was illegible.”

“Why did I walk so purposefully in a straight line? Where would it take me? He went round and round and we got there all the same.”

“Give me another chance, one more chance, and I’ll walk a line so straight people will think I’ve been possessed.”

“I love book signings: kids waiting in line for you to scribble on their new books, haha!”

“Straight is the line of Duty, Curved is the line of Beauty, Follow the straight line, thou shall see. The curved line ever follow thee.”
