- The same goes true if you bring stuff to the flea market. When you pull in
- there is a large group of people that hit each truck as you pull in looking

- They've decided to merge the "old elvis" stamp with the "new elvis" stamp,
- putting them side by side, and to use the stamp in the war against drugs.
- Under the old elvis it will say "This is your body" and under the "new (and
- larger) Elvis" it will say "This is your body on drugs".
