Blurbing v. Boffing
Most Beauteous and Cunning Reader!
As the Conflab is one of the Grand Assemblies of our time . . . And as the continued existence of the human race depends on the Conflab deciding the burning questions of the day . . . And as I would like to brag about my blurbs . . . we shall be debating the following question:
The question to be debated is———Considering the two greatest pleasures on earth (Blurbing and Boffing), is it more gratifying to be blurbed about, or boff your brains out?
Boffing is, I grant you, as far as I can recall, quite nice. But blurbing is a lasting satisfaction.
One can re-read a blurb over and over and over and over and over. Or write a blurb over and over and over and over. Whereas with boffing, well, really, after thirty or forty times a day, one gets tuckered out.
It is not my intention to sway the debate one way or the other by mentioning that Katie Fabulous Couric called the blurbs on the back my book the “best blurbs of a book she has ever read.”
