SKINNY'S FINISH

Being a little short of material this
week we asked the devil to write us
a short article against the use of slang.
He did. Here it is:
If there is anything that gets our
Nanny it is the use of slang. Some
guys spill so much of that kind of
dope that it is hard to get wise to their
spiel. Kids should be put next by
their parents that slang is on the Fritz
and should ought to be cut out. If
l had a kid that couldn't put over
straight stuff l would wallop the lining
out of the lobster. Skirts are shines,
proper, when it comes to slang. They
think that mercy, and I should say
not are real tough. The Boss is a
dish of prunes when it comes to slang.
