…a riot is like a visit from your mother-in-law…it takes more to get one stopped than it does to get it started…

Monroe D. Underwood

At two in the afternoon I continued northward.

More or less.

I met Sir Lennox Nilgood Fiddleduck walking south.

He took me by the arm.

He propped me against a tree.

I said hi there.

I said wass new?

Sir Lennox said there’s been a second riot.

I said over what?

Sir Lennox said over who started the first riot.

He said sixty-five people have been incarcerated.

I said oh thassawful.

I said I thought thass sort of thing went out with the Spanish Exposition.

Sir Lennox said sixty-five people have gone to jail Purdue.

I said my God Diddlefuck thass a hundred and thirty peoples in one swell foop.
