Here's the first of articles by British humorist and commentator Miles Kington for The Independent. It one of his "list" columns, about how there are two kinds of people. While many of the observations are both trenchant and funny, what's most impressive to me is the breadth of the list, how many observations he comes up with. One of my favorites --
"There are those who, when filling a car with petrol, make a note of the number of their pump before they go in to pay, and those who, when asked the number of their pump, squint out of the window and say: 'I can't read the number from here, but it's the second from the right where the old Volvo is.'"
