My favorite Harlan Ellison story: At the 1961 World Science Fiction Convention, held at the Hyatt hotel at the Seattle airport, Harlan Ellison introduced himself to the guest of honor, Robert Heinlein.
"My name is Harlan Ellison and I've sold a million words of science fiction!" he said.
Without missing a beat, Heinlein replied, "There aren't that many words in the English language. You must have sold some of them more than once!"
