A Cautionary Tale.

Most days, scrounging up an idea for my blog is like pulling my dog’s teeth. At 1100 bucks, I don’t know which one of us felt more pain.

Other days, ideas just drop from the heavens, much like the script for Good Will Hunting fell into Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s conjoined laps.

Allegedly.

Today’s story definitely came from above, delivered via a film crew while I was waiting to record Amy Poehler. And it came to them directly from Noah Wyle of “E.R.”

One day, Noah opened a fan letter and found a feather enclosed. As he read the letter, he tickled his face and neck with the feather, enjoying the nice fan’s words.

Then he flipped the page over.

On the other side was a picture of the fan – a guy, with the feather sticking out of his ass.

And, scene.
