Jean Shepherd’s “I Libertine” Literary Hoax
I, Libertine was a literary hoax novel that began as a practical joke by late-night radio raconteur Jean Shepherd. Shepherd was highly annoyed at the way that the bestseller lists were being compiled in the mid-1950s. These lists were determined not only from sales figures but also from the number of requests for new and upcoming books at bookstores. Shepherd urged his listeners to enter bookstores and ask for a book that did not exist. He fabricated the author (Frederick R. Ewing) of this imaginary novel, concocted a title (I, Libertine), and outlined a basic plot for his listeners to use on skeptical or confused bookstore clerks. Fans of the show eventually took it further, planting references to the book and author so widely that demand for the book led to it being listed on The New York Times Best Seller list.

All Evil Approaches you on the Subtle Cats Feet of Benevolence – Jean Shepherd
I would point out to you that what seems to be benevolent can often turn into something unbelievably the opposite right in fact all evil approaches you on the subtle cat's feet of benevolence. True evil as opposed to trouble which just happens. I mean now that trouble is not the same as evil I'm in this face that the evil is a long-term process trouble is something you can call the insurance man about.
