just a slight correction... an article a while ago referred to alice
as a poor working class person when she hung out with zonker... well,
actually, she was always an unemployed street person... remember under
ford when trudeau did the bit about federally funded movies for the unemployed?
alice was always in the front row....
 
cheers...

Rather a moot point actually, but since I was the person who pointed out that
she was a poor working class person, I feel obligated to protect my honor(?)
Anyway when Zonker first met Alice ("What Do we Have for the Witnesses,
Johnnie?") Alice introduced herself saying: "Alice P Schwartzman.  I'm a
garment worker ... and a regular!"  Why did I bother looking this up?

By the by, does anyone care to speculate on why Zonker's Dad would give him
money to go to Duke's school given Duke's reputation on previous business
endevors?  Just curious.
