Well pretend I'm Eric Burns and I don't have Terrance's photographic

their way inside the weatherless spaces of this or that Ethnic Joke. 

One night in a chicago bar ... LBJ, a butt in his mouth, Cutty Sark in
hand, he was singing his version of the Wonderama's theme song ....
Gooks are people too.
