He would glance at it and throw it away. Finally after a couple of weeks of this, the paperboy asked him why he would buy a paper every day only to glance at it and throw it away. The man replied that he was looking for an obituary. Paperboy said "Sir, the obituaries are on page 13." The man replied "The Son of a Bitch I'm looking for will be on the front page!"
