them a lecture. Hey, you guys, you ain't got mace, you
ain't got any armored tanks, you ain't got instant banana
peel. What do you got in this town? You should see what
they got in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City. This
ig a nothin' town: it's 2 pushover. So they're all gettin’
real interested, you know, droolin'; we were tellin" ‘em
how many kids the cops in Chicago were killing; they're
droolin'. You're a drug addict. Yea, I'm from New
England; I shoot maple syrup. Ha ha. They said, oh yea,
how is it? I said, sweet. It's awful sweet. It's awful
sticky, though. Wouldn't like it. Yea, let me see it.
Where do you shoot it? I said, well, you put a funnel in
your ass. So they're diggin' it. We got the movie with
us, see, the Yippie movie. They say. what's this movie?
It's of an ostrich sleepin’ with a woman. They go, oh,
they're runnin’ a11 over, getting a projector. We gotta
see this. We said, oh no, we don't show it to you. You
show us your's, we show you ours; cause they got statks

hysterical in Chicago, and they say, you're using
obscenities. They swore - I thought that was hysterical -
at my trial I was arrested for havin' a dirty four-letter
word called hate on my forehead in Chicago. It was part of
my security system. I didn't want my picture in the mass
media, see, you..you had to swear at fuck, right, or they
won't take your picture. So I had that end I had a cross
to keep away the vampires. Good for a kike to wear a
cross, good disguise. So, the cop testified at my trial;
the judge says, well, what did he have under his hat? Cop
says, an obscenity, your honor. An obscenity. What was
it? Well, I don't wanna say it. Hah. You should have
heard him back in the station hovse. Well, I got cleared
for that finally because they didn’t have a, they said
there were all these eyewitnesses, but they couldn't
produce ‘em, see, so it only offended the cop's morals and
if you only offend a cop's morals, it ain't good enough.
It's like a loophole in the law, so they threw the case
out. But nonetheless, I got charged for resisting arrest,
see, and I got fifteen days and a year probation still comin’
