It is fact, it was on the south side of Chicago and the guys he was stepping over were the drunks who had passed out in the street. It was 1955-1957 somewhere in there were there were still segregated nieghborhoods in Chicago. Polish, Italian, Jewish, whatever, it happened. The guy was too drunk to carry the bird so he held it on his head with one hand on its leg. Do you think I would make up something that ridiculous? The South end of Chicago went around the lake and into Gary, Indiana and was one big ghetto. The Polish neighborhood (mine) was on the north so I rarely got to see such stuff. When I was one we bought a house way out in the country so trips into town were rare. This one just stuck in my head because it was so weird. Did I mention he was also singing, although rather badly? My dad worked for the Chicago Tribune and occasionally took me on a field trip with him. The guy with the rooster never even got a mention because apparently that type of behaviour did not count unless there was an actual crime. Besides, I was not bragging about walking around with a rooster on my head. > > Rich > -- Bill (?) Baka |

A ****-and-bull story. -- "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber-barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber- baron's cruelty may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis |
