The Rejection Letter Collector

A struggling writer proudly displayed his collection of rejection letters on his wall. 'Most people collect stamps or coins,' his friend observed. 'I collect evidence,' the writer replied. 'When I finally get published, this will be exhibit A in my revenge memoir titled "Everyone Who Was Wrong About Me: An Alphabetical List."' His friend asked how many rejections he had. 'Four hundred and twelve,' he said, 'but I'm hoping to hit five hundred before any publisher ruins my collection with an acceptance.'
