“comes up, ‘I'm the stewardess, you know, and you have to fasten
your seatbelt.' And I said, well, it's against my religion
to tie myself up. She said, ‘according to the Federal Aviation
Code, number 26748, 41t is my responsibility to guard your
life.’ I said, honey, you kiddin'? You have gota hell of a
responsibility. I'11 relieve you of that responsibility. No.
If you don't fasten your seatbelt, the FBI is gonna arrest you
in Rochester when we land. So, like, what do you say, huh?
I say, so, bring'em on. She was a@ liar. It was just Rochester
cops. And then came on and arrested me and take me down to the
station, you know, and get me in the lobby there and I said,
hey, am I under arrest? They said, sit in the f..... seat.
IT said, hey, I'm not under arrest, I'm walkin' out of here, get
in an egg crate, goin' back to New York. -I know my rights under
the Constitution. You can take the Constitution and shove it
up your a... That's called readin' you your rights. . Forty
arrests, the only people that ever read 'em to me was the FBI.
They have very polite arrests. They're like they're doin' you
a big favor when they bust ya. But the cops never do that.
So we gct down to the police Siation there and we've checkin'
‘em al] out. Me and my friend, he came along; he poses as a
New York Times writer, see. That always helps cool ‘em out.
He ain't. He just a Yippie. So, ah, we start givin' them a
lecture. Hey, you guys, you ain't got mace, you ain't got any
armored tanks, you ain't got instant banana peel. What do you
got in this town? You should see what they got in Chicago,
Philadelphia, New York City. This is a nothin' town; it's
a pushover. So they're all gettin' real interested, you know,.
droolin'; we were tellin' 'em how many kids the cops in Chicago
were killing; they're droolin'. You're a drug addict. Yea, I'm
fron New England; I shoot maple syrup. Ha ha. They said, oh
yea, how is it? I said, sweet. It's awful sweet. It's awful
sticky though. Wouldn't like it. Yea, let me see it. Where
do you shoot it? I said, well, you put a funnel in your a...
So they're diggin' it. We got the movie with us, see, the
Yippie movie. They say, what's this movie? It's of an
ostrich sleepin’ with a woman. They g0, oh, they're runnin‘
all over, getting a projector. We gotta see this. We said,
oh no, we don't show it to you. You show us your's, we show
you ours; cause they got stacks and stacks of the stuff down
in the basement. What do you think they do with all that smut?
