The Daily Intelligencer’s Jessica Roy added a rather genius update to the photo:
Subtlety may not be his strong suit, but we’ll give him credit for trying. (And if the man in the photo is reading this, please shoot us an email. We’d really like to hear how the book’s suggested techniques are working for you.)
