...Pittsburgh, celluloid-visored Joseph Castro fell asleep in somebody's office. Inspired by his snoring, a gum-chewing office joker removed a wad of moist substance from under his tongue. "Lookit," he said, "what do you say we play a joke?" Stealthy as a murderer he approached Joseph Castro, stuck a little tee of gum on the end of Mr. Castro's nose.

Not so a certain old man who sits all day under a green celluloid visor, peering at papers in the editorial rooms of a certain metropolitan daily. His clothes are shabby; he is unable to play any musical instrument; if in a ball game, the pitcher should "walk" him, it would take long for him to get to first base; but he is paid money, this dilapidated curmudgeon, for one distinguishing asset-the length of his nose.
