He carries .5 cigarettes in a .15 box. The bird with the toothpick and he hasn't eaten all day. I know I'll be lucky today! Camouflage. Calamity Jane---> This bird keeps his coat collar up to hide the fact that he needs a hair cut. They must think we're cannibals. Comedian. You can tell 'em! Cabaret camouflage. Why you should eat here. We have the best revue in town. A shine to hide a pair of bum heels.
