I asked the dame for a smoke. As she lit the match, I grabbed the matchbook and used it to ignite the drink!

Flames flamed everywhere all at once and indeed at once. The dames' hair caught!

So did the ape's fur! As they started beating out each others flames, I jumped from the taxi!

I ran into the closest gin joint, and stood gasping at the bar. Of all the gin joints, in all the boroughs of New York, I had to stumble into this one!

I shuffled over to the cigarette-smoke scarred piano, and tapped the ape on the shoulder. "You know what I want to hear..." I mumbled to the ape; "go ahead and play it...Play something from...Banarama."

I ordered a gin, not the flaming sort this time, as I listed to the mellow sounds of the piano and distant sounds of fire trucks out side on the street. Just as I thought of my next request, the front door swung open bringing in a squeel of tires, a siren winding down, a small wisp of smoke, and ... No! it couldn't be, not here!!!

In walked the most down-trodden clown I had ever seen. He wore a ratty orange wig, had a torn purple nose, and his clothes hadn't been laundered since Prohibition was repealed.

"The first one who offers to smell my flower gets drilled" he snarled. I'm not a happy clown!

I wondered, once again, of all the joints I could have waltzed into, and it had to be this crazy son of a crazy gin store!
"Bartender", I yelled, "Two gins for me, and whatever the ape and the clown are having, make it three each;" I'll get to the bottom of this case if it means killing me before both these two jack-asses are too drunk to realise what was happening; meanwhile, the Dame ? |

I downed the first gin, and turned to the clown. "Have you heard the one about the Rabbi, the Priest, and the monkey in leather chaps?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

"You know the answer" they both said, in unison. I was surprised at their synchronicity, as they each looked around.

Gazing into the back corner of the bar, I spotted a flash of platinum blond hair. After buying the ape and the clown another round, I started for the back corner.

I was astounded. When I reached the corner, not only was the blonde sitting there, but also the ape and the clown!

Looking back at the bar, I saw the ape and clown rolling dice, in the same spot I had just left. At that exact moment, the garish neon lights illuminated the clown's bloodshot eyes, exposing what I can only describe as a loving glance at the ape.
