The Lone Deranger

Shoppers at Johannesburg bookstores are being menaced by a woman claiming to be Tom Eaton’s Number One Fan. Her identity is unknown as yet but one victim said, “I think it’s Lin Sampson, because of the shocking lack of fashion sense and the potted fern trailing out of her bag.” According to the victim, “…[It] was traumatic. I had fought several people for the last copy of ‘Cook With Jamie’, and the shop was littered with bodies, but when I got to the counter I found myself paying for ‘Texas’ instead. What can I say? This woman is very persuasive and I think she knows where I live.”

Well, let them think it’s Lin Sampson if they want, I say. We know better don’t we?
