[AGL] The Den of Inequity

[Wayne Johnson]

Wait just a goldarned minute!

Yes, we had so-called "tourist courts" in G'town when I was a kid, but I 
never, not for one moment, thought those thing were actually for use 
by..........tourists!

I can't remember ever seeing anyone in G'town who looked like a tourist 
except for this wierd guy who hung around the town square wearing a trench 
coat during the late Forties.  Everybody pretty much assumed that he was a 
Russian Spy trying to get the Scoop on Nuklear stuff up at Fort Hood.  About 
as subtle as a locomotive at a tea party he was.

As for "tourists" they must have slipped in under the cover of darkness and 
flown away with the breaking dawn.

I allas thought they wuz for "illicit cuddles" by the local merchants and 
farmers.

Darn I was soooo stupid.

...and suspicious.....
