*Rubber or Plastic?- a Grave Issue*




Rubber or Plastic?- a Grave Issue: "'The writer David Sedaris, describing an argument with his partner over whether someone's artificial hand was made of rubber of plastic, also foresaw no end to their disagreement:

'I hear you guys broke up over a plastic hand,' people would say, and my rage would renew itself. The argument would continue until one of us died, and even then it would manage to wage on. If I went first, my tombstone would read IT WAS RUBBER. He'd likely take the adjacent plot and buy a larger tombstone reading NO. IT WAS PLASTIC.'

Sedaris, D, Dress your family in corduroy and denim, quoted in A mind of its own, by Cordelia Fine, page 106."
