Why this must be read: because sometimes you just have to do what the dream zombies tell you to do. Plus, the idea of Joe giving tax advice is hysterically funny. This disturbing and blackly humorous story is a loose sequel to New Suit, Cufflinks, and a New Tie but stands on its own.
Billy keeps dreaming about Joe in the suit. He's dead, of course. Been dead for a while, the bullet hole crusted and decaying in his forehead. And he's wearing the suit they buried him in. He's wearing Mr. Mulgrew's horn-rimmed glasses too and carrying a ledger. He keeps giving Billy tax advice. "You're finally putting away some cash," he says. "You just got it in savings? What the fuck, Billiam, aren't you thinking about the fucking future?"
Every night Billy tries to ignore him. Tries and tries to ignore him till he can't anymore, till all that's in his fucking head is JoeJoeJoeJoeJoeJoeJOE. "Shut the fuck up!"
Joe gives him his most spiteful leer. "Brains, cuntface." But unless his ex-girlfriends were right and Billy really does think with his dick, it's not his brains Joe grabs.
