It's All In How You Say It

The acknowledgements section of Billy Bob Thornton's book is 6 pages long.  He starts out with the usual; family, book publisher, editor etc.

Then there's this: "What follows is a list of friends, coworkers,influences (some I've known, some I haven't) in music, movies and just life. Basically people who just plain old don't suck...................... Also, this is for the people I'm thanking, so stuff the comments about how long it is and put the f***ing book down."

That list makes up the last four pages.

The acknowledgement ends with this: "..................and everyone who has the balls to try to keep swimming up sh** creek."

I love this man.
