THE GOOD WORD ACCORDING TO · THE ULTRA-HARRIER
VINNIE
Harry lays it on the masses
Chapter 12
Thereupon the multitude cried out to Harry, saying,
2“The cbeadle with dirty stringy hair and funny little glasses was saying that you were, you know, pretty special,
3“And, like, know a lot,
4“Or some excrement like that.
5“So why not, like, lay it on us now?”
6And Harry smiled, and stepped closer to the microphone, and began to lay it on them, as follows:
7You guys have been having a pretty rough time of it for a while,
8If you don’t mind me summing up a few facts for you.
9dLike, you’re pretty much the scum of the earth, aren’t you,
10eAnd most of you will never get to college,
11fOr get to be rich,
12gUnless you can find your way onto a stage like this somehow,
13And it’s a lot more likely that you’ll get drafted instead,
14hAnd go get shot in Vietnam or something,
15Unless you shoot each other in a ibarroom brawl or something first.
16Is any of this hitting home with you guys?
