PASADENA, Calif. -- More  than  50,000  people  roared  with
laughter  Sunday  as  wildly  dressed contingents marched by
carrying irreverent signs at the seventh  annual  Occasional
Doo  Dah  Parade,  an  out-of-step spoof of the Rose Parade.
Among the 2,000 participants were  a  contingent  of  nurses
from   nearby   Huntington   Memorial  Hospital  called  The
Panhandlers -- carrying bed pans --  the  Citizens  for  the
Right  to Bare Arms -- carrying prosthetic limbs and tossing
candy to the crowd -- and the  Ladies  Against  Women  anti-
feminist  group, with a sign reading, "My husband said it, I
believe it and that settles it." Once again the most popular
of  the  200  entries  was  the synchronized briefcase drill
team, featuring 20  bank  executives  in  dark,  three-piece
suits.
