In the offices of the New York Herald-Times: “Boss – there’s a new metal! It’ll change the world!” “Great Caesar's Ghost! Incredible! Write it up – we’ll remake page one. And send the newsies down to meet tramp steamers in case they have any passengers with an interest in metalurgy!” “Right away, chief!” Remember: when picking up someone from a tramp, always park perpendicular, no matter how hard it is to turn the car in the narrow space, and make sure the trunk is as far away from the gangplank as possible. At this point we are free to assume that the letterer buys his punctuation in unsorted bags, and strews them without regard to proper placement. |
