    1. That's backwards. It's one for Spanish, two for ___, three for ___ .... English comes last. Can you imagine people trying to figure out how many there had been.

  2. If they really wanted to do it right, they'd require all residents to learn Morse Code to cover the wide variety of criminal offenses not covered by police protection.

    1. I love that song Jeff. Haven't thought about it for years and I am now exploring ways of dowloading a record or cassette tape or whatever the young folk do these days.

  4. The city will pay for the air horns for all non-White people. Whitey, you're on your own.
