You need to read the book to grok the justification.
Enjoyed that book. Got it from the library. One day I was reading it and a teeny, tiny ziplock baggie full of white powder fell out from between the book and the plastic library cover. Seemed somehow appropriate.
My rule: Don't ever eat at one of those truck stop plaza places.
