The perils of Troy

This from the Boston Globe:



Actually, it's from Reuters. The Globe just printed it.

I know this because my friend [Redacted on the advice of my lawyer] from [ditto] sent this to me this morning. So, delighted, I wander down to the local newsstand and say something like, "Do you have a Boston Globe?" The guys says something back like "I used to carry it, but the distributor can't get the Globe to me til a day later. Who's gonna buy a day-old Boston Globe?"

Fair enough, albeit annoying.

I have this strong feeling that, if I lived in New York, I'd be able to find a same-day Globe.
