Paint the Town Black (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Arthur Black | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

With his usual off-kilter perspective, Black tackles many of the pressing topics of the day, including some positive PR for the swastika, the sometimes fatal effects of poor penmanship and the burning question of whether one-time Thunder Bay mayor Walter "Jolly Wally" Assef really did pat the queen's bum. The answer:
"Somebody must have tipped Prince Philip off about the mayor's meandering mitts because Phil watched Wally like a hawk. Wally's hands never got near the royal end zone."

Many edifying historical facts are cunningly hidden among the laughs. For instance, how many Canadians remember Gerda Munsinger, the probable Soviet spy who got deported for sleeping her way through half of Diefenbaker's cabinet? Senator Incitatus, whose office was made of marble, ate gold for lunch. Don't worry, this isn't one of Harper's recent appointees--Incitatus was a racehorse appointed to the Roman senate by his owner, Emperor Caligula.
