Hey! Think a minute.

Q: What modern day device wicks cherrycoke? (Wicks of course being used as
a verb, meaning draws up, and cherrycoke meaning a drink or cola) 

A: A straw!

So, is Rv. Cola rilly a straw? Well, it could mean the story is hollow, or
maybe he wears pinstriped suits. O-or it could be that his top bends
around a-la those cute twisty straws from minute maid cardboard drink
containers. Ah memories...

Gershom Bazerman (from the wrong address, and thinking now about those
color changing spiral straws that kool-aid would give away)
