It's gay life, boys!
When our expensive food finally
arrived Hep was gazing at his fingers
and wondering how they got on his
hands, while Max, the genial pest,
with his chin driven through his shirt

in bowl of soup left for him by an

Max woke up suddenly, looked

under the table.

hand, tried to stand up and defy the
universe, but he toppled over among
the wine-coolers and passed peaceful

Our heroic soldiers fall in the de-

they can not hurt us, but let us have
