A book Joke

Two books were doing a drug deal when the deal went south. They got into a shoot out and one book was hit in the appendix. The other book got shot, but not seriously wounded.

The police saw the scene and knew the case would be open and shut. They had a material witness that had a spine and was willing to testify. They found the book and could read the guilt all over him. They bound him and booked him at the station.

The judge really wanted to throw the book at the defendant, but was told by the defense lawyer that you can't judge a book by its cover.It didn't matter.

The defendant was found guilty and given a sentence for homicide, a sentence for drug dealing, and a sentence for running from the police, all amounting to life in prison.

But, that's not where the story ends. The book escaped from prison! He assumed a new cover. He dropped his drug dealing days and now has a new title. He's been thumbing his way across the Unite States. I guess you could say he's turned a new page. He's writing a story and this one will be better!
