Quotes by Mark Reutlinger (?)

“Mentally, many of the residents are still, as they say, sharp like a tack, but some are now more like the other end of the tack, having been hit with the hammer of life much too often. You know, missing a few candles from their menorah.”
― Mark Reutlinger, A Pain in the Tuchis
