Not quite what I was planning...



"Everyone has a story. Can you tell yours in six words? Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure collects almost 1,000 six-word memoirs... Surprisingly addictive, Not Quite is both a moving peek at the minutia of humanity and the most literary toilet reading you’ll ever find."

Funny stuff - check out some of the quotes:

"I thought it was funny." Stephen Colbert
"Couldn't cope so I wrote songs." Aimee Mann
"Fifteen years since last professional haircut." Dave Eggers

Right off the top of my head, I'd say mine is
Takes a licking, keeps on ticking
