If only all newspaper reading was like this...

Recently the Washington Post offered buyouts to a lot of their longtime writers, some of which were accepted by such household names as David Broder and Tony Kornheiser. Peter Carlson also took the buyout and wrote his final article here on a column that reviews magazines. I never read the column, but if the old ones offered lines as funny as the quote below from this final column, then he will be sorely missed...

"In the last 12 years, there have been many changes in magazines, but some things never change. For instance, Cosmopolitan and Glamour keep running sex tips and discovering hitherto unknown sex acts pretty much every month. For all those years, I have assiduously studied approximately 2,638,419 sex advice articles, and I believe I can now boil down all their wisdom into two simple rules:

1) Insert tab A into slot B.

2) Season to taste."
