My First Tweet

No, I didn't open up a Twitter account. I refuse. It will never ever happen. And if you don't think I have the fortitiude, you're listening to a man who still doesn't have a cell phone. So believe it. Anyway, this is my first bit of news that I'm posting from a Tweet, and I feel downright icky about it. But it's news that must be posted and this is where it came from so there's nothing to be done. Into the lion's den I go.


Jake and Annie together again!
Yay! Brokeback 2: Jack Twist's Revenge!


Okay no. The book the story's based off of is described thusly:

"Jamie Reidy is to the pharmaceutical business what Jerry Maguire was to professional sports and Frank Abagnale (Catch Me If You Can) was to bank fraud. He's the guy who's been there, done that, and walked away with the insider stories. You'll find yourself rooting for Reidy and at the same time, you'll be shocked by the realities of the world that paid his salary.

Hard Sell is a witty expos© of an industry that touches nearly everyone in contemporary America. It reveals the questionable practices of drug reps, nurses, and even physicians. Reidy traces his ups and downs as a rep for giant drug manufacturer Pfizer, maker of some of the most widely prescribed and used drugs in existence, including Viagra.

With equal parts self-confidence and self-mockery, Reidy tells it like it is in the drug-selling trenches that are our local doctors' offices. The result is a funny and fascinating book that will appeal to those with pharmaceutical sales experience, medical professionals, those who have tried Viagra, and any American unhappy with rising drug prices."

I smell boner gags! Endless boner gags. If there's one thing Jake knows... it's that you can't gag on a boner. Oh dear me I should try these sorts of loose puns this early before having any caffeine, that was a total flop.
