Overheard: Small Town, Big Chain Bookstore

Posted on October 13, 2011 by charliegreenberry

I went to the chiropractor today, and he ran electrodes through me; therefore, I’m fairly certain I’m now a mutant. My latent powers will show up any day and so will Professor X. That’s why I feel perfectly justified eavesdropping … Continue reading →
