Prohibition makes the Yanks thirsty
Chapter 86
Nobody really knows how Prohibition came about,
2Except that there was a lady with an ax,
3Named eCarrie Nation,
4fAnd a whole bunch of self-righteous Puritans who suddenly came out of the woodwork in droves,
5And passed an amendment to the Constitution,
6gSomehow,
7That closed all the bars and saloons and liquors stores,
8Overnight.
