Subject: I guess weren't not in Kansas anymore, Todo





    The southern student at Minn who asked for a pen and got sent to pans

reminded me of a funny interaction here in Athens OH Easter 1968. My wife and I

had driven down from Syracuse NY to househunt, and we went to the OU Inn for

dinner. We had left winter and the outside temp was in the 60's, so I ordered 2

Planter's Punches in the dining room. They came promptly but minus straws. So

I got up and walked to the bar, and asked the bartender if I could have two

straws as the waitress had forgotten ours. He said he couldn't, but he'd remind

her. Puzzled, I returned to my seat, only to find her appear a few minutes

later with two STROHs [a Detroit beer]. Suddenly I realized how Dorothy felt

in The Wizard of Oz when she said, "Todo, I don't think we're in Kansas any more!"
