“I dislike endings entirely”

“That’s not a very inspiring way to begin a piece is it?”

“No, but then again, I’m not looking for inspiration.”

“Poor attitude. You should start with something that’ll attract other people’s attention. It’s the only way to be successful in this business.”

“I’m not here to attract other people’s attention. I’m here to state a deeply held view and you’re interrupting me!”

“Oh, excuse me please continue.”

“I dislike endings entirely.”

“You said that already.”

“I know I said it already! I was merely restating my position for the benefit of the other people.”

“So you are worried about attracting other people’s attention.”

“I was restating myself merely to start my position within a logical framework. Now please let me continue.”

“Oh very well.”

“I dislike endings entirely.”

“That’s not continuing, that’s starting over.”

“Ahem!”

“Sorry.”

“I dislike endings entirely. They are usually long, tedious and pedantic. They just seem to go on and on forever, with no purpose except to listen to the boring sound of their own voice, rambling ever on and on.....”

“Excuse me, but this seems to be the end.”

“Good, I didn’t like it very much anyway.”
