A terrible product idea: nostril epilator.
A great novel idea: Moby’s Dick, the tragic tale in which Moby ghosts Captain Ahab after an amazing night of passion, and Captain Ahab, unable to get that intensely satisfying fullness any other way, vows that he will have that whale inside him again—dead or alive. Sorry, sorry: that’s a terrible novel idea, but it popped into my head this morning, and I just had to write it down somewhere.
