Have you ever studied any world history?
Salman Rushdie thinks it’s funny, Russell Banks thinks it’s funny; I think it’s funny too. (So that means I’m as cool as Salman Rushdie and Russell Banks, right? Sure.)
Anyway. I thought this particular bit would speak to us today.
And he asks, “Kelly, have you ever studied any world history?,” and I’m, like, “Excuse me, but I happen to be wearing an imported Italian cashmere sweater.”
I’m totally stealing that.
I guess that makes me cool, too, even though it’s the Untouchables/brunettes line that keeps on coming back to me.
Just found that privately printed Kallenbach biography co-authored by his grand-niece that I once picked up second-hand on the shelf again. Must do a closer reading.
“You are so handsome when you are not speaking.”I am so stealing that…
Oh my shit that piece is hysterical! I’d forgotten how much I like Paul Rudnick.
I think it’s very funny too. Does that make me cool? Well, as cool as Ophelia?
Let’s face it – we’re all cool.
Just like Fonzie.
