here tomorrow. We Know you're all committed, staunch federal
employees and we would like to ask you all to come in three
hours early for work tomorrow, So, all the organizers started
to believing and they were pruoably the only ones in the whole
city that believed him, so if you are a federal employee you

morning, everybody pops out from parks, and different universities,
you know, everybody tiptoeing down Madison Avenue, they look
around and say where the (obscene) are the cars, The entire
National Guard, the 7th Fleet is there and a bunch of freaks

is not very well understood in this country...
"I'd still be there but they got this thing called
Scotland Yard on the island and the U. S&S. Government was kinda

not allowed to travel anymore,
