Closed for Hurricane

I regret to inform my loyal readers (both of you) that The Hand is closing today so that I may flee the onslaught of Hurricane Rita.

I realize the hurricane is hitting the Gulf Coast and I'm in New York, but you can't be too careful.

On a related note, I have been informed by my wholesalers that the hurricane is affecting the Texas snark industry. I shall until further notice have to pay higher prices for my daily snark. While this will doubtless affect my already meager profit margin, in the interest of fair play, I promise not to pass on the extra cost to you, the consumer.

Yes, indeed -- for the highest-quality snark at a fair price, look no further than The Hand.
