Daytime television, you can tell whoโs watching by the three kinds of commercials. Either itโs clinics for drying out drunks. Or itโs law firms who want to settle injury suits. Or itโs schools offering mail-order vocational degrees to make you a bookkeeper. A private detective. Or a locksmith. If youโre watching daytime television, this is your new demographic. Youโre a drunk. Or a cripple. Or an idiot.
Chuck PalahniukA guy's calling to say he's failing algebra II. Just as a point of practice, I say, Kill yourself. A woman calls and says her kids won't behave. Without missing a beat, I tell her, Kill yourself. A man calls to say his car won't start. Kill yourself. A woman calls to ask what time the late movie starts. Kill yourself. She asks, "Isn't this 555-1327? Is this the Moorehouse CinePlex? I say, Kill yourself. Kill yourself. Kill yourself.
Chuck PalahniukWe want you, not your money. As long as you're at fight club, you're not how much money you've got in the bank. You're not your job. You're not your family, and you're not who you tell yourself. You're not your name. You're not your problems. You're not your age. You are not your hopes. You will not be saved. We are all going to die, someday.
