Buddie, said the professor, can you tell me what a saloon is? Yes, sir. A saloon is where the devil in some old human disguise welcomes you in at one door, gets your hard earned money, then kicks you out at the other. Ain’t I right? The trimmings on the clothes of a vain world would clothe all of the naked ones. You know I don’t believe in fighting if I can keep from it. And never would I care to hurt any body, but I would like to be right close to that old German Kaiser with a baseball bat, and when he goes to harping on what he and God are going to do, just swat him right ker-dab in the mouth and kiiock those gorilla teeth about eighteen inches down his goozle.
