“A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people’s patience.”
John Updike, Assorted Prose (1965)
I saw this, and just a few minutes later, ran into the article “Xmas Dinner For One DVD, New Friends Are Just One Click Away” over at UberReview.com (opens in new window). Which leads me to ponder: How boring do you really have to be until buying this kind of DVD seems like an attractive alternative to, say, watching TV or a film over a solo dinner?
Wonders never cease.
