Today's hilarious spam subject:
"Jackson," she remembered.
I am amused first of all that it was correctly punctuated. Also, it's kind of fun to try to fill in the previous line: what question was she trying to answer? Feel free to comment.
Note to anyone writing anything to be published that involves illustrations: FOR THE LOVE OF SWEET BABY JESUS, PUT YOUR FIGURE CAPTIONS IN ONE WORD DOCUMENT. DON'T PUT EACH IMAGE IN AN INDIVIDUAL POWERPOINT FILE WITH THE CAPTION. Your editor will be able to match them up, I promise. Editors are smart like that, they can match an image labeled "Figure 1.tif" to the Figure 1 caption on the list. Or at least make it one big powerpoint file instead of 20 single ones.
Also: how is it hard to JUST SEND THE ORIGINAL GODDAMN IMAGE FILE? Don't embed it in your Word document! Don't stick arrows on it in PowerPoint and then make a tif out of it and then embed it in your Word document! Every time you move it through another program, it loses quality! JUST SEND THE GODDAMN ORIGINAL IMAGE AND WE WILL STICK THE ARROWS ON IT FOR YOU! THIS IS WHY SWEET BABY JESUS MADE ART DEPARTMENTS!
