What the encyclopedia dosen't tell 
	you is that the real test of whether 
	something exists is whether or not it 
	can be bought and sold. If it has a 
	price tag it must be real. The soul 
	has a price tag, but it's not the kind 
	you can just turn over and look at. Like 
	very expensive jewellery, you have to 
	ask. And, of course, if you have to ask, 
	you probably can't afford it.

	There is still a demand for souls, a kind 
	of metaphysical black-market for those who 
	have somehow managed to misplace theirs, 
	or who, due to some congenital deficiency, 
	were born without one. If you need the cash, 
	or if you think maybe you were born with 
	two, or maybe you just don't use yours that 
	much anymore, you might want to consider 
	selling yours. Just check the personal ads in 
	the New York Times, you'll find the Post 
	Office number to write to. They ask you to 
	enclose your phone number and promise to call 
	you directly upon receipt of your application. 
	This is how many people become famous authors.
