Iโm an atheist. The good news about atheists is that we have no mandate to convert anyone. So youโll never find me on your doorstep on a Saturday morning with a big smile saying โJust stopped by to tell you there is no word. I brought along this little blank book I was hoping you could take a look at.โ
Paula PoundstoneMy parents got carried away with the letter P when they were naming the kids in our family. There's me, Paula, my sisters Peggy and Patty, and my brother Pjimmy, spelled with a silent P.
Paula PoundstoneWhen a woman extends her hand for you to shake it, then you shake her hand. You do not turn it up and kiss it. And it is just so creepy. Because, you know, I handed it at this angle. I handed it at the handshake angle and so I'm not giving it to you to do whatever you want with it. I'm not loaning it to you. It's like if somebody borrowed your lawnmower and you're assuming they're going to use it to mow their lawn. You don't want to find out later they put it in the ocean!
Paula PoundstoneI'll probably never have children because I don't believe in touching people for any reason.
