 MT. Landis, we have come to give you
 a shower" At that instant a spray of
 perfume shot from each of a dozen
 shower sticks of various and wOndrOCs
 construction, each shower finding it's
 mark as Landis beat a hasty retreat
 through the door. Each shower stick
 was then left upon his desk. tOgether
