Best things about this cover:
  • "With your permission, my lady ... May I sniff these?"
  • He is appropriately grubby. She is impossibly clean.
  • All I can think is "Really? Right on a bed of lettuce? Isn't there a nice flat patch of lawn nearby where you can have your furtive rustic tumble?"

Best things about this back cover:
  • Once again, Shakespeare approves!

"I ain't going to let that good-for-nothing Canuck get his hands on the best farm in the whole gol-darned country. Come on to the village and get it settled right away."

For some Boston Bruins fans, winning the Stanley Cup was not enough. Canucks must be made to suffer year-round!
