Crazy

Via

UPDATE:
This is NOT a direct quote from Kerouac but in fact an Apple ad inspired by him from 1997 and apparently - 'Using a Mac computer, if you open your applications and right click on the TextEdit application and select "Show Package Contents" Contents>Resources then open the file "Edit.icns" in the Preview application you will notice that this quote is used in the icon. It is part of the icon but isn't noticeable until the icon is blown up.'
Thanx to Stan for pointing this out.

However this is fugn bonkers...

  1. Although credited to Kerouac, I think you'll find he was only the inspiration for those wonderful words, which were written for an Apple ad by a copywriter at TBWA.

  3. Huh. Mine starts "Dear Kate" and signs off "Take care, John Appleseed".

    I have no idea who either of those people are.
