This not so anecdote is brought to you by Kovar

 A short narrative account of an amusing, unusual, revealing, or interesting event.

 a single, definite point  the setting, dialogue, and characters are usually subordinate to the point of the story  Part of a larger work

 Section 5- page ◦ Why is this considered an Anecdote?  1. Is it short? 2. Is it amusing? 3. Does it have a lesson? 4. Is it part of a larger work?

 I never had much of a vocabulary. In fact, my friend Bob Schneider would still be alive today if I'd known the difference between "antidote" and "anecdote". He got bitten by a copperhead, and I'm telling him funny stories out of Reader's Digest. His head started to swell, I said "This ain't working". He goes, "READ FASTER!!“ ◦ ~Ron White
