Life is short, and we have but little time to gladden the hearts of those who travel with us. So be quick to love and make haste to be kind.

Probably not his usual beat, but I picked up these wipers from the dealer yesterday and immediately thought of @cabel.panic.com. Fantastic packaging that probably hasn't changed in 30 years.

From Johnstone's classic "Impro": Give your fictional out-groups happy endings. The story is what happens, not what is said.
"When I ran the Royal Court’s script department, I used to read about fifty plays a week, and many of them seemed to betray their author’s conscious intention. At one time there was a glut of plays about homosexual lovers whose happiness, or even lives, are destroyed by the opposition of ignorant bigots. I didn’t see these as pro-homosexual although I’m sure their authors did. If I wrote such a play my homosexuals would live happily ever after, just as my Goldilocks would end up living in a commune with the bears. Recent films in which the good lawman comes to grief when he tries to fight the system (Walking Tall, Serpico) have the moral ‘Don’t stick your neck out’, but this may not be what their directors intend. In the old days the honest sheriff was triumphant; nowadays he’s crippled, or dead. Content lies in the structure, in what happens, not in what the characters say."
