MY DOCTOR SAYS

 

My doctor says

I have been incontinent,

But I don't know

 

I can’t remember

But if the doctor is right

Then where did I go?

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931)

 

“The Public Enemy” is a Crime Drama, Written by Kubec Glasmon, John Bright and Harvey F. Thew and Directed by William A. Wellman.

The movie is the story of best friends and fellow gangsters, Tom Powers and Matt Doyle (James Cagney and Edward Woods).

However, their lives are frowned upon by Tom's straight-laced brother, Mike (Donald Cook), and Matt's straight laced sister, Molly (Rita Flynn).

Nonetheless the hoodlums rise up through the ranks of the Chicago underworld, from their teen-aged years into young adulthood, and have an increasingly lucrative life, bootlegging during the Prohibition era.

Tom in particular becomes more and more brazen in what he is willing to do and becomes more violent against those who stand in his way, disagree with him or cross him, until a gangster's accidental death threatens to spark a bloody mob war.

Also in the line-up are Robert Emmett O'Connor as Paddy Ryan and Joan Blondell as Mamie.

The most famous scene is of course, Cagney smashing a grapefruit into the face Mae Clarke (Jean Harlow), but there is a lot more to this film than that.

ARE YOU WEARING ROMAN ROBES?

 

Are you wearing Roman robes?

They’re very loose and flowing

And they fit where they touch

Without any detail showing

Which keeps a man guessing

I really like that about them

Because it’ll be a surprise later

When I take you up the forum

BEEF AND CHICKEN

 

I’m used to the term

Surf and turf on a menu

If you want meat and seafood

But now if you want to

Eat Beef and Chicken together

You order Leather and feather

SO PLEASE MAKE NO MISTAKE

There is definitely a difference,

So please make no mistake,

Between a bag of crisps and a condom

As one of them you salt and shake

WHATS IN A NAME (30)

 

Does anyone know does Jane Ayre?

I don’t know what could George Wehr?

Does anyone think is Nathan Sweete?

Have you just walked down Daniel Street?

A PEOPLE PERSON

 

It read, “I’m a people person”

On his bumper sticker

But it actually turned out

That he was a trafficker
