Question: Three stags walk into Powell’s, and each comes out with a book of his choosing: Alan, ever the dreamer, gets Summer House with Swimming Pool; J.T., who lives above the Dancers and Prancers nightclub, opts for To Rise Again at a Decent Hour; and Terrance, the stubborn one, chooses Can’t and Won’t: Stories. If there are six antlers, twelve hooves, and three tails between them, how many books, deerest reader, did they pay for?
Answer: Two! The third they got for free thanks to Powell’s More Books for Your Bucks Sale! No heads or tails about it.
