Uppity Stuff
I was just thinking I needed another place to post on the web that I'll eventually ignore. Also, not really uppity, like, at all. --@kellydeal
Sears Tower Unveils Glass Balconies on Skydeck
My stomach DROPS just looking at these pictures. Walking over the glass floor of the CN Tower was enough for me, thanks.

But to be fact-checked too much … well, sometimes that ruins the humor. I wrote a piece for the New Yorker about my family collecting art [“Suitable for Framing”]. I had a line about a painting costing as much as the average person pays in car insurance. The fact-checker asked, “How much does the painting cost?” I told him, and he called back and said, “That’s more than the average person pays.”
And I said, “OK. Then insert, ‘The average epileptic.’ ” He called back and said, “You’d have to change that to ‘epileptics in Connecticut,’ because Connecticut has the highest rate of insurance for epileptics.”
Then it becomes a paragraph about car rates. To me, it was just a throwaway line. And there goes the humor.
