My bold Canadian correspondent Julian has alerted me to a major setback for those of us who like to go out on the weekends and toss dwarves. The Canadian legislature is trying to pass "An Act to Ban Dwarf Tossing," after one MPP became aware of the activity taking place in her hometown. Apparently one of the favorite contests at a local strip club was to toss around a dwarf going by the oh-so-tasteful nickname of Tripod. The article quotes the shocked, shocked MPP, Sandra Pupatello:
"I think there are lots of things to look at in a strip club without having to resort to that particular activity. This in my opinion sets us back a generation."
Yes sir, there's nothing the Greatest Generation enjoyed more after a hard month in the trenches than going into town for a little dwarf tossing.
Meanwhile, it has also come to my attention that June is National Accordian Awareness Month. Sadly, we have already missed the big commemorative event, Day of the Accordian at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, featuring Big Lou's Polka Casserol. A shame, really.
