I've involved in espionage!

[Gorn Captain]

A couple of months ago, I passed a street, and saw a big box of paperback novels with a sign "Free! Take your pick!"

I chose one: Hungry Ghost.
It's a book about a psychopathic secret agent, sent out to seek and destroy an enemy in Hong Kong.

But here's the odd thing: on one of the first page is hand written:
"Page 250. Hong Kong scene. Take care, Boris."

Now, as we all know, all Russian spies are called Boris, so I was thinking: what could this message mean?
Who was it for?
Who left those books there?
Could I have some encoded secret message?
Will Boris be coming after me?
Should I really "take care"?

So did you look at page 250?

So did you look at page 250?

So far, that page has nothing special.
I could be missing the secret code, of course.

I should have taken the whole box of books!!!!!

[Riffster]

was it signed Natassa?

[Mikey]

Maybe it was written by Karloff

I'm sure the person that wrote that put it in the box and giggled to themselves as they walked away. I would have!!

I just hate when that stuff happens.

Contact Dan Brown, author of the Davinci Code.

I'm sure he could crack the code for you.

That book means nothing. Everyone knows "Catcher In the Rye" is the preferred novel for coded messages and discreet communiques!
