This one's for Nancy Lee

Who bought David Sedaris's Me Talk Pretty One Day last week on a trip to the the amazing and densely packed Henderson's bookstore in Bellingham, WA. Before Christmas, I met this other David Sedaris fan at a party who told me about an absolutely hilarious This American Life piece. About six minutes into "Music Lessons," David Sedaris sings the Oscar Mayer wiener jingle in the voice of Billy Holliday. Really, save this link for a day when you're feeling like a troglodyte. I laughed so hard my abs went into spasm.
