Teaser Tuesday (30 November)

Last Teaser Tuesday of the month -- they go by so quickly.

"I am Alma Gristede," she said. "I am beautiful."
Well, sir, this took me aback, you may be sure! "Hey," I said, "That's MY line."
"I know," she said. "I was just trying to save time."

I Was a Teenage Dwarf, Max Shulman

"Um, what I said about your decades of experience...I wasn't calling you old or anything." 
"No, of course not. I understand."
"I just mean --"
"I know."
"A little maturity, it's very becoming on a woman."
"Certainly."
"You're definitely still hot."
Deanna threw her a sidelong look. "You'd better believe it, kiddo."

p. 134, Orion's Hounds. (Christopher L. Bennett) Things get a little awkward between Troi and the first officer of the Titan.

  5. Those are two excellent teasers! I read "Teenage Dwarf" waaaaay back when I was a preteen and loved it. I was a big fan of Dobie Gillis, in print and on TV. Very funny stuff!

Thank you for visiting! Because of some very clever spambots, I've had to start moderating comments more strictly, but they're approved throughout the day.
