An amusing anecdote

* So I do not want to get into the habit of writing personal stories on here, nor do I expect to.  But this was too amusing to not mention here. 

Yesterday I was on the subway and I looked down to see what the woman sitting in front of me was reading.  Imagine how happy I was to see a familiar hardback paper cover:  A Prisoner of Birth by Jeffrey Archer!  I really liked that book, so I was happy to see someone else reading it.  As I tried to figure out what section she was reading (yes, I am a nosy person on the subway), I noticed some discrepancies.  Primarily, her book had graphs and pictures.  There are no pictures in A Prisoner of Birth.  And then I looked closer at the text that she was actually reading... and saw one heading.

The benefits of Kegel's.

Needless to say, she was most definitely not reading the book that I thought she was reading.  Good thing I investigated before I told her something like "That book is fantastic!" and then tried talking plot points with her...
