"Sometimes the only thing in the world that doesn't bore me is listening to bores." Yes! All right! That's Sally Jay Gorce in
THE DUD AVOCADO by
Elaine Dundy. Makes me think of what
Sun Ra said
about peach pie. Also, Sally Jay's cousin blinks "like an
owl," making THE DUD AVOCADO
another book with an owl in it. I know you are disappointed because our last two books,
DR. SAX and
NORWOOD, had real owls in them, but sometimes
you have to settle for an owl in a simile, kids. That's something you have to face as you go through life.
