Quotes by C.K. McDonnell (?)

“The key to life,’ said Banecroft, ‘is looking and acting like you know exactly what you are doing at all times. Margaret Thatcher said that.’ ‘Did she really?’ He turned and raised an eyebrow. ‘No, but thank you for having proved my point.”
― C.K. McDonnell, The Stranger Times

“Mrs Harnforth spoke as if addressing the room rather than any one individual. ‘Who was it that said sarcasm is the lowest form of wit?’ ‘I don’t know,’ replied Banecroft, ‘but I guarantee they’d not seen the internet before they said it.”
― C.K. McDonnell, The Stranger Times

“Fifteen per cent of people meet their future partners at work. I read that in a magazine.’ ‘He arrested me.’ ‘Nineteen per cent of people have used handcuffs at some point in their relationship. I read that in a slightly less God-fearing magazine.”
― C.K. McDonnell, The Stranger Times
