Graham and his friends preferred to shoot up in their arms, necks and legs. A dealer once

said Graham was the type who would never be able to turn back and that he expected him to die

from the drug. Wendy feared the same, but didn’t know how to save her son. “ Once, after he’d

eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.

Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.

bathrooms have no baths in them.

And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce,
