A Writer Joke
Q: What did the magazine editor do to Jenny’s article about death?
A: Killed it.
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee, hoo hoo hoo, yuk yuk yuk…I crack myself up.
The article was killed (i.e., cancelled) years ago, and now I’m so grateful because it gave me plenty of time to rewrite a better version. Plus, I’ll get paid twice.

You're a riot! Take an A on the double pay! (I'm a poet.)

Double pay. Woo-hoo! BTW, I'm DYING to read your article.
He-he.

That falls under the heading When god closes a door, he opens a window...I have this writerly friend Eileen who refashioned a single bit of research on the most boring of subjects (travel luggage) into something like seven paid articles. I tease her about it mercilessly, but she's smart to do so.
