The Friday 56, Dead Pan

The Friday 56 has moved. It will now be hosted by Freda's Voice. And you should come and visit at its new home.

The rules have changed slightly too.

Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56.
*Find any sentence that grabs you.
*Post it.
*Link it to Freda's Voice.


The book this week is Ah-Choo! The Uncommon Life of Your Common Cold by Jennifer Ackerman. I have not started this one yet but it does seem like the right time of year for it. Especially since my nose is a little stuffy as I type this.

The sentence:

But nose cells had one distinct disadvantage -- they're attached to the rest of the human.

I always hated that about nose cells. Why don't they grow up and move out already?
