A Little Light-Heartedness in a Sea of Bones

"that's another fine mess I've gotten myself into"

Larry David - Curb Your Enthusiasm

Allen, Woody Allen

I've just read this Woody Allen line in Will Self's foreword in a book of Nick Cave's lyrics/poems (whichever you wish), and had to share a tiny excerpt with you millions who so fervently forage my blog for any new nuggets of wisdom. The first line of Woody Allen's parody of Albert Speer's wily memoir: "I did not know Hitler was a Nazi. The truth was, for years I thought he worked for the phone company".

Note to Self (Myself, not Will Self): must buy some Woody Allen prose.
