He was returned to the 'Poon offices last June, but will probably not attain his former heights until the 'Poonsters scrape up $45 to cover the cost of resoldering him to his perch. How long he will stay up thereafter is uncertain...
...victim of arteriosclerosis has a shutdown in an easily accessible artery (e.g., thigh or arm), surgeons can cut out the diseased section and splice in a graft, or split the artery lengthwise and scrape out the bottleneck deposit.

...bloody washout in which the baby is thrown out with the bathwater and devil take all. Talk about Rights. What Rights? Then I will tell you . . . the right of an Englishman true-born and free to get his beer and baccy, his Java, bread and scrape, plum-and-apple, cut off the joint and choice of two veg . . . good things sent in plenty from heaven above but niggled into pigeon holes by charity charlies with scrag-end notions of that arithmetical dead loss and bad debt...
