hint hint, buy it (the second it)

Conversation with a fellow contra dancer last night (during a dance, mind you, which I note because any contra dancers reading this will appreciate the humor inherent in trying to have this or any conversation as you dance by/near/around your neighbor for about 30 seconds):

Him: "Is that your brother who just wrote the baseball book?"

Me: "Yes!"

Him: "But I thought you were from Illinois?"

Me: "We are."

Him: "So why did he write a book about the Red Sox curse?"

Me (slightly confused for about six beats, then...): "Oh! You must mean the other Dan Gordon baseball book. Totally different than my brother's book. Clearly."
