Ma avastasin järsku, et kui A., keda hiljuti Austraalias nähtud, meie õpetaja oli, siis me pidime tegema plakati. Mina tegin siukseid veidraid nagi "elu on nüüd" ja tahtsin alustada plakatikamapaaniat sama sõnumiga.    Minu kodus on väikekodanluslus võidutsemas, suurte puhaste ideedega. (arusaadavalt ei suuda ma sellest midagi halvasti kirjutada).        In the mid 1950s, Vonnegut worked very briefly for Sports Illustrated magazine, where he was assigned to write a piece on a racehorse that had jumped a fence and attempted to run away. After staring at the blank piece of paper on his typewriter all morning, he typed, "The horse jumped over the fucking fence," and left.
