The first policeman I saw needed a shave. The second had a couple

buttons off his shabby uniform. The third stood in the center of

the city’s main intersection — Broadway and Union Street — directing traffic,

with a cigar in one corner of his mouth.

— Dashiell Hammett

from Red Harvest

Four and twenty Yankees, feeling very dry,

Went across the border to get a drink of rye,

When the rye was opened, the Yanks began to sing,

God bless America, but God save the King!

— A Prohibition toast
