The difference between true crime and novels . . .

Jack the Ripper writes nonfiction and history and a bunch of other things, but he got his start as a true crimer and that's where his instincts are. The other day he calls up and says he gave his agent a new proposal.

Jack: She had some good suggestions. I told her 'fuck you.'
Me: Then what?
J: Then I did them.
M: That's the difference between what you do and fiction - I'd tell her thanks and then not do them.
