Kurt Vonnegut at Sports Illustrated

Love that Kurt Vonnegut worked once at Sports Illustrated:
Kurt Vonnegut worked briefly at SI until being told to write a story about a race horse that had jumped the rail and terrorized the infield at a local track. Vonnegut stared at his desk for what seemed like hours before finally departing the building without a word. Inside his deserted typewriter was this: ''The horse jumped over the fucking fence.''
Heh heh - great story.
