The world's fastest woman slows down and sits down for an unprecedented interview.
strongsmell.com: How's your husband doing?
Marion Jones: Fantastic. Marvelous. Awesome.
smell: You got something personal against adverbs?
MJ: Not so much. I just don't like them as good as adjectives.
smell: Isn't that a dangerous way to think and act when you're a multiply-sponsored role-model athlete with a steroid-popping cheat of a husband?
MJ: Jeez, that's kind of harsh.
smell: Sorry.
MJ: Well, you should be. And it wasn't steroids, it was a mislabeled dietary supplement. All he was doing was eating right and taking his vitamins. You expect me to leave him for that?
smell: He's a shotputter.
MJ: And?
smell: Oh, come on. Tell me you think shotputting is actually a cool thing to do.
MJ: ...
smell: Didn't think so.
MJ: I'll tell you what's cool.
smell: What?
MJ: Staying in school!
smell: ...
MJ: And eating a good breakfast!
smell: ...
MJ: And McCain Pizza Pockets, because they're baked not fried!
smell: So shotputting's not even in the running, huh?
MJ: ...
smell: Didn't think so.
MJ: ...
smell: You ever tried any of those mislabeled dietary supplements yourself?
MJ: Maybe.
smell: Does that mean yes?
MJ: It means maybe. If it said "mislabeled" on the label, then it wouldn't be mislabeled, would it?
smell: ...
MJ: That's called the Epimenides Paradox.
smell: ...
MJ: I'm smart.
