planned. She shrugged. Was she the
butcher, she wanted to know.

So Our most diligent scout reports
another charade performed in the same
spot recently. Up until 3 am. all had
been relatively peaceful. No steaks
thrown. No glasses pitched at the en-
tertainers. Then two couples collided
heavily on the dance floor Without
even waiting for 'podden me"

the right in the eye.
Somebody raised a faint cry of
foul at that point and both couples
retired quietly to their corners, not
to emerge again.
