Quotes by Archer Mayor (?)

“A secretor is somebody whose blood type appears in his or her body fluids as well as in the blood itself—handy if all you’ve got is a sweaty shirt or, as in this case, semen. A nonsecretor’s blood type can only be ascertained through the blood.”
― Archer Mayor, Open Season

“I only knew a woman I suspected was haunted by devils. What those were, I was never told.” She sighed. “I think that’s why I went to her wake. To apologize for not pushing harder.”
― Archer Mayor, Fall Guy

The air was thrumming with the sounds of endlessly passing traffic.”
― Archer Mayor, Marked Man
