Brevity again: six of the best

When in doubt, turn to the New Yorker. I love this article because we drill our writers in short, concise sentences. Have to confess it took me a while to gather what was going on. See how long it takes you.

My favourite? Still Hemingway: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

Hahahaha. A couple of weeks ago a mate asked me to write my a/b in six words. He reads the New Yorker. Now I know where he got it from :-)
