A friend who was waitressing in Kennebunk collected this story for me: a family came into the restaurant and as the woman sat down she exclaimed, "Oh it's so wonderful to be back in Maine where I can get my favorite fish: tripe. What kind of fish is it, anyway?"

Typesetting story: An ad needed to be set, statted to several sizes, reductions and enlargements, and FedExed out before a very tight deadline. The client couldn't seem to get the copy to us and there was a finite amount of time that the stats would take. The client actually said, "Can you do the stats first and we'll give you the copy later?"

The sound you hear is me banging my head against the wall.
