A Failure To Communicate

Bounder, ejaculated the tourist. We've been euchred wailed his wife as Ming hopped down the stairs of the Forbes Building at 60 Fifth Avenue and scuttled across 12th Street dragging his portable admissions booth after him. Ming tries to be there T,W,F and Sat. when the little known Forbes Toy Soldier Museum is open just off their ornate lobby. He hopes to rectify their oversight in not charging admission. Only here can his drooling not draw attention as he and the stray fellow droolers marvel at the rotating dioramas of vintage military miniatures denied them in their youth. Collecting an admission fee from the unwary seems only fair when even the FDA Commissioner demands the price of free speech and the right of assembly for entre into his august presence as was the case in the Dendreon demonstration outside FDA headquarters. Strother Martin, in Cool Hand Luke was right. "What we have here is a failure to communicate".
