I used to think I was a wit; it turns out I was only half right.
Random House announced a fall 2005 publication date Thursday for author Thomas Harris' latest Lecter novel, Behind the Mask.
Millions of readers in 25 languages have wondered how Dr. Lecter developed his particular appetite for evil," Cable said. "This novel will satisfy their curiosity.
The book's movie rights have already been snapped up by producer Dino DeLaurentiis, who served up Hannibal and Red Dragon.
One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Surprised, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you" the lawyer said.
"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."
"Bring them along" the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us, too."
The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"
"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.
Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. "Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my cabin in the country, the grass is almost a foot high."
