CUSTOMER: Hi. I'd like to return this book for credit [Jay Bonansinga's Twisted, a mass market paperback thriller].

CJB: You just bought it on Thursday. Is there a problem?

CUSTOMER: Yeah. The first paragraph on page 64.

VERBATIM: "The statuesque blonde woman in the diaphanous linen top and thong bikini crouched against the raging salt winds, grimacing, struggling with a loop of nylon rope, completely unaware that it was the last time she would secure a storm tarp over her beloved little motel's swimming pool."

CUSTOMER: See?

CJB: I agree. I'd want my money back, too.
