    Short story set in Down and Out universe. Has me laughing halfway thru
    page one.

    <<Adrian shuffled through the crowd and up the stairs to the steady-temp
    surface, peeling off the routing sticker that the cryo had stuck to his
    shoulder. His tummy was still rumbling, so he popped the sticker in his
    mouth and chewed until it had dissolved, savoring the steaky flavor and
    the burst of calories. The guy who'd figured out edible routing tags had
    Whuffie to spare: Adrian's mom knew someone who knew someone who knew
    him, and she said that he had an entire subaquatic palace to rattle
    around in.>>
