Exploring the oddity of books spare moment by another spare moment...also, a lot of ellipses...

34: The Pork-choppers (and that's exactly how it's printed on the cover)


The best part, and by best I mean outrageous since books are silly weird relics of the past lingering on in an increasingly tech world anyway, is the blurb above the cover.

"He was the president of a powerful labor union--but he could lose it all with one blast of an assassin's rifle!"

The kinda sorta supposition here is that only someone like a powerful labor boss *snort of laughter* faces real loss from bullets entering them. Can poor people lose what they do not have...with one blast of an assassin's rifle? Can the somewhat powerful vice-president of a labor organization lose from an assassin's rifle?
