Love Quote by Jeri Smith-Ready
““Okay, stud , just one more question." She formed an L with her thumb and index finger. 'Why are some people in the audience holding the sign for "loser"?' It was my turn to laugh at her. 'That's not for loser.' I set down my soda, mirrored her gesture with my hand, then straightened our pinkies to form the sign-language letter. 'The L stands for "love".””
