P. 123 Meme

[mlerules]

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you!

Okay, the only book within reach of the 'puter hutch ends on page 122. When I wander over to the next closest bookshelf and grab the first fat book I come upon (to make sure it has a p. 123), THIS is what I get:

"If you've read up and can deal with the idea of pulling tapeworm out of your butt by rolling them on a stick, and you are now packing, what do you have to do physically before you leave?"

Yup, gots to love travel books...

I had to reread that a couple of times to be sure I wasn't hallucinating...wow...you do read some fascinating travel books! My quote came out to be from Measure for Measure. Do I feel like a geek or what?

Mine was from Robert Young Pelton's "The World's Most Dangerous Places - 5th Ed." What was your quote?

"What, is there none of Pygmalion's images, newly made woman, to be had now, for putting the hand in the pocket and extracting in clutched?"

In all honesty, I haven't read that play...I've read many of his, but not that one...it's just part of a complete works of W.S. that I have lying around. But thanks!
