Thursday Paper

The paper on Thanksgiving Day was so stuffed with ads that must have weighed five pounds. Here are the only parts I actually read:


All the rest was junk—sports, ads, etc.—that I have no interest in. George wasn't interested either. All these will go straight to the recycling bin (except for George).


I found something irregular with part of the paper that I did read—or tried to read. See those scallopy lines:


They fold down to reveal a blank expanse of paper.


George couldn't figure out why the newspaper should have a blank double-page spread like this.


 Neither could I. And what's with the little silvery thing at the upper left?


That puzzled George, too.
