Book Signing Location Moved Again

Michael Todd, author of the book My Cat Is An Asshole, announced today that his "scheduled" book signing has once again been moved to a new location.

"I don't know. Somebody said that if I set up another table in the parking lot at Barnes and Noble I could get arrested again," said Todd, as he threw grocery bags full of spiral bound books into the hatch compartment of his '76 AMC Gremlin.

"It's funny. I write the single most important piece of literature since Mariel Hemingway's over-rated "Old Man and The C-Note," and suddenly I'm Persona Non Gotti."

Todd was referring to an incident earlier this year when he backed his Gremlin against the doors of the local Barnes and Noble and tried to force incoming customers to purchase his previous book, Most People Should Be Locked Up.

"It was a good publicity stunt," Todd argues. "I mean think about it, my book was about how most people really ought to be locked up, so I back my car up against the doors to, you know, lock 'em all up on the inside. Then the police come and guess who actually gets locked up? I mean what kind of irony is that?"

Of course, nobody will answer that, or any other of his many questions.

When asked about the new location for the My Cat Is An Asshole book signing, Michael Todd throws his cigarette to the ground, rubs it out with his shoe, and says, "What difference does it make? After April 18th nobody's got no books to sell anyway."
