You know what drives me in to a seething frenzy of rage?

[jackshoegazer]

People who say, "Oh, I don't read books. I can't read more than five pages at a time. I only read magazines."

Comments

Ah, don't let that fool upset you in the least. His statements merely need translation from their native wanger-ese. For example:
"People show books to brag about how many books they have read."
Translation:
"I am a borderline illiterate who is intimidated by intelligent women. Please do not allow me to breed."
See? It was only a public service announcement warning you not to give him any sex. :)

That's beautiful. You should write a dictionary of translations for those of us who can't speak retard. :)

Thank you for noticing. ;)
When you live in Brooklyn, the skill of translating wanger-ese sadly becomes a matter of survival.

I saw a comedian who was talking about how he was reading a book in a restaurant and the waitress came up and said, "So, you're a reader, huh?" with a sneer of disdain in her tone.

WTF is wrong with people?
