E8-A reporter of experience gives the
following instructions for making ones way
in a crowd: Elevate your elbow high,
and bring it down with great force upon the
digestive apparatus of your neighbor. He
will double up and yell; causing the gentle
man in front of you to turn half way round
to see what is the matter. Punch him in
the same way, step on his foot, pass him,
and continue the application until you have
reached the desired point. 1t never fails.
