    Youth Has It's Fling

    Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode is truly “hair‑raising.” A destitute, dark‑haired Rapunzel sells her hair for a movie ticket, while two grown women become best friends and roommates over their shared love of entertainment—until an undercover detective sends them both back home to their parents. Neighborhood boys spark a miniature border war that gets a neighbor lady arrested. We uncover the real truth about what used to soothe cranky babies. Pope Leo XIII drinks cocaine wine. A bad‑driving doctor hits a pedestrian and then tries to pawn off his daughter on the victim. A male cook from the Midget Restaurant hides under a woman’s bed. Thieves steal an entire sidewalk. A bride and groom get the neighbor’s 13‑year‑old son drunk. A traveling salesman has buyer’s remorse then claims an exotic woman stole his money. A proto‑FaceTime machine from 1905 foreshadows today’s hidden webcams and virtual‑meeting fatigue. And somewhere in the middle of all this, I catch a fever and Oxford University teaches me how to spell.
