  • What William Shatner said to Jeff Bezos after Shatner’s Blue Origin rocket ride: “What you have given me is the most propound experience I can imagine.” What Jeff Bezos might have said to William Shatner: “Thank you again, Shat, for ensuring maximum media coverage and free marketing for my human spaceflight business.”
  • Signs of the times. Highway: “Texting While Driving—Oh Cell No.” Vet Hospital: “If Cats Could Text You Back, They Wouldn’t.”
