6S Spy Challenge (Retrospective) a la Teresa

[Toby Tucker Hecht]

1. “How is Jay or has he already committed suicide?”
2. “I hear that ten billion cells die a day so my feeling is that all ten billion must be from John’s brain.”
3. “It’s just money, not real life.”
4. “You should have told me there was a chance you wouldn’t get through your defense; I wouldn’t have ordered a cake.”
5. “Hi, I’m Jane, or Ann, or Susan…whatever.”
6. “If you were creative yourself, you’d understand.”

All these were written in a notebook over the last two years.

No. 1 ... Oh, how I wish I'd overheard that one! Thanks for sharing these.

[Angela]

Wild.  I must try going out in public.

I invoke Maritzer's Axiom, once again: No one knows what there is between two people except the two themselves, and sometimes even they don't know. ( That never stops me from judging,  when I see one partner mistreating the other.)

@Gita:  The woman who was the target of this meanness did eventually get her degree a year later.  Since it was her husband who said that, I wonder how they ended up staying together.

@Bolton:  #2 was at a bridal shower!!

@Bill:  I heard this at the next table in a restaurant.  Two gay men (who were not in a relationship) were talking about one of their partners.  I spent the whole dinnertime listening to them and totally ignoring my husband who was angry that I was eavesdropping. 

[Cita]

Excellent. I am further inspired.

[Gita]

Number 4!!!  OMG. That's so cruel.

[Teresa]

Oh my god.  Fantastic.  And you're WRITING THEM DOWN.  Excellent.  Lines 5 and 6 are my favorites.
