All right he did, during his first job, as a seventeenth-century typesetter. But still... What say we double date? I'll take Mary Kate, you get Ashley. Or wait... Mary Ellen and Beth? Mary Beth and Ellen? Hm... not off to a very good start. Nice word, by the way. Onanism... had to look that one up. David Foster Wallace didn’t invent the footnote, Jordan.
