"Don't worry--I'm an editor." is great. Sorta fits with the three biggest lies in the world: 1. My Mercedes is paid-for. 2. I'm from the government, and I'm here to help, and 3. I promise I won't .............well, you know.
Possibly this is funny only to those who've seen people ruin something they've written by improper use of a thesaurus. Perhaps it would appeal to a wider audience if EE were saying, "Don't forget to include an SASE," or "How about sending me the full on that fantasy novel."

I must be narrow. I laughed at the thesaurus line, but don't understand the funny in the SASE and full lines.

The funny is in the fact that EE is saying it on a ladder outside her window, rather than by mail.
ReplyDeleteThe thesaurus line has the double attraction of being on the ladder and also being amusing in itself--to those who get it.
I thought it was funny. But I'm too distracted with worrying about getting her to a hospital, since her neck has obviously been broken.
