981. AMOS TAKES IT ON THE HIP

AMOS TAKES IT
ON THE HIP

I don't care if you don't like me.
They deflowered fifteen virgins in
twenty minutes. How many were
there? That was the question, as
posed in the capacious quiz-book
of crazy humor. I bought it for a
dime from a paraplegic on the
corner of Vine. He smiled.

There's not been a way to get
through the goldmine since
1954. I tried. I tried once, and
I tried again. My father then said,
'all that information that would
get you there, it was all lost in
the war - the Solomon Islands.
No one's ever found it again.'

He often talked funny like that.
