Message:This may not be exactly correct?
Oh it's beer, beer, beer that makes you feel so queer
On the farm, on the farm
It's beer, beer, beer that makes you feel so queer
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.
My eyes are dim, I can not see
I have not brought my specks with me
I have, hey, not, ho, brought my specks with me.
Oh it's gin, gin, gin that makes you want to sin
On the farm, on the farm
Oh it's gin, gin, gin that makes you want to sin
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.
Chorus
Oh it's whisky, whisky, whisky that makes you feel so frisky
On the farm, on the farm
Oh it's whisky, whisky, whisky that makes you feel so frisky
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.
Chorus
Oh it's duck, duck, duck that makes you want a ...... SANDWICH
On the farm, on the farm.
Oh, it's duck, duck, duck that makes you want a sandwich
On the Leland Stanford Junior Farm.
Chorus

Message:While everyone knows about the free speech movement in Berkeley, Tony eschewed that scene in favor of the less-well-known, but equally-revolutionary "free use of cards" movement. While away from the action down on Telegraph Ave., this group remained more secretive and discretionary. Some newcomers who mistook the name of the movement for "free use of our parents' credit cards" had to be weeded out. Without getting into the minutiae of the movement (some of which are yet to be revealed), it's no accident that he ended up going to Switzerland, long-considered a haven for other miscreants such as jewel thieves, tax absconders (thus a perfect cover because of his accounting background), papal and political refugees, etc.
While the beginnings of the movement are thought to have been among the Roma in Bohemia and the Carpathian Mountains, once the tendrils reached California, they found a population segment ripe for profligate debasement - students believing in the rights of indulgence concerning the U.S. Constitution. Naturally, among such there were those few who also thought such freedoms should extend to card games and crossword puzzles, among other idle pursuits. Some even thought that their freedoms should be extended to include the use of dictionaries for solving crossword puzzles! So while the free speech movement itself became (sort of) imbued into U.S. history, and to varying degrees throughout the West, the free use of cards movement never gained wide acceptance. Many who believed in free speech thought that extending that to the use of a deck of cards was just a 'deal' too far - thus it remains on the fringes of what is considered "polite society".

Message:Sodom didn't get along with Gomorrah either. Something about a difference in opinion. Sodomites were elitists and Gomorrahns were bohemian. Just like Stanford and Cal.

Message:Now Buzz................you know always try to include my sources. That was, as we say in the bizness, from a "private, unpublished communication".
@ cellmate - I have no idea what your message is trying to communicate. Did you want me to go into chat tonight? OH - maybe it was a play on that newfangled AI thing that writes papers for students, etc. Didn't that start with "Chat" maybe????
