THE DAT W CELEBRATE
'. Thin is the day that no small bey is complete unless scorched or
crisped.
The day of waving flags and raving orators. "
. The day the devil chaser and the ice man go about seeking whom
they may devour. . .
The day we shoot ourselves full of tetanus or blow our fingers off
and our eyes out to show our independence.
A day more deadly and glorious than a mad housewife with a roll
ing pin. .
-A a ideal day to be dea'f, dumb, blind and buried in a hole.
