[Libs-Or] Policies and Pot

[Nathaniel Elder]

You'll know you've got real trouble if jazz musicians start hanging around
the library.  You can identify them by their lingo.  They might use words
such as:

Mrs. Grundy

Cat's Pajamas

Whangdoodle

Gasper

Hooch

23 Skidoo

Jake

Trotzky

Dewdropper

Spifflicated

Be aware when they are talking about tea they are not referring to Earl
Grey.

"Phonus balonus!"
