Pockets Quotes - Page 20

• The thing I hear about a lot is when people over-sharpen their pencil with a single-blade pocket-sharpener and then when they put the pencil to the page, their tip breaks and pencil points always break irregularly.

• I never had a checkbook. It used to be cash in hand, stuff in the pocket, or a manager would keep some accounts and give me money.
