This is what I read on page 123 of Mere Anarchy, beginning with sentence six:
Touched by this request for some measure of genuine coin of the realm, Pepkin terminated his treatment, and on the advice of some shyster he plays eight ball with sued me for malpractice.
Unable to handle the sudden downsizing and the hardship that accured when Bergdorf's amputated her charge account, Foxy Brietbart exchanged me even up for an anorexic four-eyed pipsqueak whose computer-chip parent catapulted him, at twenty-five, seven notches above the Sultan of Brunei on a certain list in Forbes. Meanwhile, I was left with a trunkful of sheet music with titles like "The Earthworms of Tuscanny" and "At the Speleologists Ball."

Those who've been tagged did not play; you who were not tagged chose to partake. I am indebted - and am wondering if you're also recommending the read :)
You've always read more interesting stuff that I.
Oh you made that up, admit it!
No. I cannot recommend "Mere Anarchy," save for a single short story about a writer who is hired to produce novelizations of Three Stooges movies.
"Mere Anarchy" by Woody Allen is available in hardcover from Random House.
