I have a confession to make. I'm currently "responding" to my publisher's  
edit for my next novel, and I actually wrote a sentence yesterday that came  
out: "He was a grey-haired, wiry guy with a big nose named Barry."


Fortunately, I caught the error.

And happy holidays to all you tossers!



 
Interesting! That might have been the best part of the book. The story of a  
guy with a nose for mystery. 
 
 
"...they were partners, of course, and he depended on his nose. He had  named 
the nose Barry, in honor of his nose's ability to sniff out  clues. Barry 
used to sniff glue. But now, after building an intolerance to  Toluene, Barry 
finally had the scents to turn his talents to fighting crime.  Yes, it was true, 
Barry had ditched the glue to go for the  clue. 
 
"Barry new he was a big nose. His partner's love of gin over the years had  
changed him. However being large and veiny had its advantages... too many to  
count, in fact. Barry knew he was lucky; lucky because his partner was a  
detective and not a staff obstetrician in some senior citizens home. That  would 
have sucked...
