     Studio Reader Stan pays a visit to his literary agent, which he'll regret.
Studio Reader Stan waits in his agent, Mischa Broom’s, waiting room. Sitting near him is a guy, bronzed heavily by a tanner, who checks his hair in a little handheld mirror.

Studio Reader Stan: Are you one of Mischa’s writers, also?

Lars: No, I’m her fiancé. And a model. My name’s Lars, but I like being called “The Bronze.”

Studio Reader Stan: My name’s Larry. And I like being called Larry... Mischa’s my agent.

Lars: Really? She never mentions you.

Studio Reader Stan: That might be because she thinks my name is Studio Reader Stan.

Lars: Oh yeah, now I’ve heard of you.

Studio Reader Stan: Does she talk about my writing?

Lars: No. She said you were the one she got to clean out her garage. Thanks, ‘cause otherwise I might have had to do it. And I can’t risk something falling on this face.

Studio Reader Stan: That would be a tragedy... So where do you model?

Lars: In front of a mirror.

Studio Reader Stan: I meant professionally. Where someone gives you a paycheck.

Lars: I do get a paycheck. From Mischa.

Studio Reader Stan: She pays you to model in front of the mirror?

Lars: And sometimes in the backyard.

Studio Reader Stan: That’s more of an allowance than a paycheck.

Lars: Does not that mean I can get away with not paying taxes on it?

Studio Reader Stan: You may want to consult an accountant about that, Lars.

Lars: (correcting) The Bronze.

Studio Reader Stan suddenly has far less confidence in his agent, which wasn’t that high to begin with.

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
