one big gallows

"Brautigan moved to San Francisco, where he wrote his best-selling novel, Trout Fishing in America (1967). The back cover has only the word "Mayonnaise" in white letters on a solid red background. It's a tradition to flirt in coffee shops by showing someone the back cover from far away and then refusing to explain."

This sounds made-up. No one's ever done this to me before, so it must be a lie. Regardless, happy Richard Brautigan's birthday. Brautigan made a big dent in my mind when I discovered him as a lad. He gave me funny dreams for a while.

I'm trapped in a house with my parents and two little girls. Help!
