	emergency meeting to decide what to do about Alice.  It wasn't so
	much her brutish behavior that bothered the townsfolk as it was the
	dark fumes that constantly emanated from the back side of her yellow
	overhauls.
	     "Something must be done," cried Jerome Peabody, owner and
	operator of Jerome's Fertilizer Emporium.  "She broke into the yard
	last night and mixed ten tons of cow manure in with my new
	shipment of bat guano!"  Jerome was a meat and potatoes man from way
	back.  He always ate his carrots first, and woe be unto he who mixed
	Jerome's carrots in with his mashed potatoes.
	     A number of other citizens agreed with Jerome, each standing
	in turn to speak his or her mind with all the flatulence of a
	fourhundred pound naked hairdresser getting up off a naugahyde
	couch on a hot day.
