"I've Got Some Great Books For Sale!"

Drew Carey's Jokes For Beer. First year econ textbooks. The John Grisham library. Science fiction book club hardcovers, alarmed and still not totally conscious attic spiders toddling out of them. Chicken Soup For the Expectant Mother's Soul. A collection of "poems" by Billy Corgan. Jewel's "poems." A User's Guide to MS Word 5.0. Harry Potter in Latin. Frommer's Hawaii, the unique and collectable 1987 edition. Fodor's New Orleans, ditto.

"Sorry, I can't use this one."

"Why's that? People aren't going to New Orleans any more?"

"Sure they are. There's been, ah, a few changes since 1987, though."

"Really? Like what?"

"Well, the flood."

"New Orleans had a flood?"
