Ah, the old homestead.

I see you have the same sense of humor as I do.

Here's one. It's 1968, Milwaukee, the neighborhood around W. Villard and N 36th Street. It's a summer day, it's been about 85 degrees all day, tempers are simmering. There's already been a few trouble calls at Custer High school. Amid five stabbings, a hit and run and one report of gunfire, the police find a body that has been beaten to death with a Nine Iron, a whisk broom, one penny-loafer (left foot) and a can of Campbell's Bean With Bacon Soup, low sodium. The locals cops have a name for this. What is it?










"Thursday."
