This is funny. In 1998 I won Punniest in Show at the O Henry
Punoff. Being a world (word) champion, I did three phone
interviews with different radio stations: one for
Dallas, on for St. Louis and one for Twin Falls, Idaho. If you
add up the time all three took, I think they lasted exactly 15
minutes. So I assumed my fame had played its course. But a
year or so later I got an email from someone who was putting together
a book on weird festivals and wanted to interview me about the Punoff.
The entire interview was handled via email. The interviewer
never saw or heard me. A year or so later, I found the book in a
bookstore. The article was great, but the author did make one
minor mistake. Now
the article is available on the web. See if you can find the
mistake. I did send them an e-male to let them know about it.
