A book of lamest fast words

Milton Berle.jpgSomething called "The Gigantic Book of Running Quotations" (Skyhorse Publishing, $24.95) arrived at the office, hoping for a review. At nearly 800 pages, the book looks like a marathon in itself. Turns out most of what's said about running is pretty, well, pedestrian.

I did find a few good ones in here:

Joan Rivers: "The first time I see a jogger smiling, I'll consider it."

Martin Mull: "The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass."

Milton Berle: "My doctor recently told me that jogging could add years to my life. I think he was right. I feel 10 years older already."
