I must have that look about me.

Being an avid fly fisher, when my local haunts get too crowded, I want to find some less inhabited waters. I heard about a book called “Paddling Illinois,” so I went to my local Barnes & Noble bookstore to inquire.

While I was rummaging around the stacks, some purple-haired, multipierced sales associate asked if I needed any help.

“Yes, you can help me,” I said. “Where is your section on paddling?”

She led me to the erotica section.
