- So this kid walks into the comic shop, and asks the guy behind the counter
- "Do you have any copies of that issue where Superman dies?"
- The guy behind the counter says "Nope. Sold out last week."
- The kid stares at the ceiling for a few minutes. "Why don't you have
- any left?" he asks.
- The guy behind the counter pauses, thinking. Then, enunciating slowly,
- says "Because -- we -- sold -- out."
- "So why don't you have any left?"
- Then he shot the kid.
