Thing-Fish:

Once upon a time, musta been 'round October, few years back, in one o' dose TOP SECRET RABMO-TORIES de gubbnint keep stashed away underneath Virginia, an EVIR PRINCE, occasion'ry emproyed as a part-time THEATRICAR CRITICIZER set to woikin' on a prot fo de systematic GENOCIDICAR REMOVE'RANCE of arr unwanted highry-rhythmic individj'rrs an' sissy-boys!

De cocksucker done whiffed up a secret POTIUM . . . an' right 'rong wid it, de ATROCIOUS IDEA dat what he been boirin' up down deahhhh jes' mights be de FINAR SORUTIUM to DE WHITE MAIN'S 'BOIDENNN', ef yo' acquire my drift . . .

Werr, he were sure he had a GOOD THING GOIN' . . . but, dere was arways de possobirity dat somethin' might fuck up, so, he pranned to have a rittre test, jes' to check it arr out befo' he dump't it in de wattuh suppry.

Sho'try denafter, wit HIGH-REVER GUBNINT COROBBERATIUM, he arranged to have a good-wirr visit to SAN QUENTIM, 'rong wit some country-westin mu-zishnin's, 'n sprinkre a rittre bit of it on some of de boys in deahhh (since dey done used a few of 'em befo' when dey was messin' wit de ZYPH'RISS).

So, heah dey come wit de POTIUM, dump'nit arr in de mash potatoes!

Den dey wen' up to de warden's office fo' some HOT TODDY, watchin' a rittre footbarr whire dey's waitin' to see what gone happen!

Fact o' de matter were: NOTHIN' HAPPENED, so dey went off'n dribbred it in a speciar shipnint of GAROOT CO-ROG-NUH dat went out 'bouts NOVEMBER!

Next thing y'know, fagnits be droppin' off rike fries . . . 'rong wit a rarge number of severery-tanned individj'rrs, pre-zumnabry of HAY'CHEN EXTRAKMENT!

But NOT DE BOYS IN DE REST HOME! Oh no! Mixin' de shit wit de mash potatoes done SMOOTHED IT OUT a rittre, so's it wourdn't KIRR yo' ass, BUT, it sho' wourd make y'ugry! 'N ef y'was arready UGRY, it'd make yo ass MEAN 'n UGRY . . . 'n ef you was arready MEAN 'n UGRY, it'd turn ya into a strange, UNKNOWN KREETCHUH, never befo' seen on BROADWAY!

Thass right! It'd turn ya' into a 'MAMMY NUN'! Head rike a potato . . . rips rike a duck . . . big or' hands, puffin' up! BIG ONES! Science! ME-jev'r re-RIJ-mus costumery arr over yo' BODY! Yow! Oh yeah! Mmmm-hmmm!
