A war zone called Chicago
Chapter 50
There will be another great comedy show called ‘I Love the Untouchables,’
2jWhich will be completely different from ‘I love Combat!’ and ‘I Love Shooting Enemy Fighters at Twelve O’Clock,’
3Because it will take place in a war zone called kChicago,
4Which isn’t even in Europe,
5So you can see how different it will be right there.
6The show will be all about competing gangs of machine guns whose sacred mission it is to make sure that lProhibition is as loud as possible,
7In every single precinct,
8Which helps explain why the gangs are called “The Untouchables,” because after they’ve fired off a few hundred rounds, they’re way too hot to handle.
9All of the starring roles will be played by members of the great mThomson family,
10And they will be supported by some outstanding comedians in subsidiary roles,
11Including nRobert Stock as Eliot Miss, the Treasury agent who has a nervous habit of shooting up liquor warehouses while shouting “Reload” in a hoarse monotone,
12And oNeville Barrel as Al Caboom, the immigrant mastermind who has a nervous habit of shooting up pTreasury agents, restaurants with plate-glass windows, and innocent civilians,
13So that the only common bond between Eliot and Al is their allegiance to the Thompson family,
14Which is the only reason they manage to stay together week after week after week,
15And thus explains why this show will be the first in a grand American comic tradition based on humorous qculture clashes,
16Which I’ll be telling you more about later,
17Because it’s so incredibly important.
