Think I'll eat some worms
May. 26th, 2009 09:31 amRandom quote of the day:
"Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we.' ”
—attributed to Mark Twain
I couldn't verify that Twain said this, but it was too good not to use. I've also seen this less common variant: "There are three categories of those entitled to use 'We' in the first person: Royalty, Editors, and People With Tapeworms." I couldn't verify that one, either.
(Thank you,
handworn.)

(Yes, I used creepy puppets to illustrate this. It could have been worse. I could have used tapeworms. I think we're all glad I didn't.)
