and ive tried working on a stool at the counter of a pie shop on speedway , a charming place i had always wanted to visit , but the waitress kept expecting me to buy another slice of pie or another cup of coffee and i havent got much money , so you see that didnt work out and neither did a very big red vinyl booth at a bowling alley in the middle of the afternoon because bowling people are awfully friendly , and noisy , gee whiz , you wouldnt believe it , so i was sitting in a fairly comfortable lounge chair for a long time which was located right beside the model of the battleship arizona , which is up there on the third floor of the student union , but there was a lot of distracting foot traffic by that spot because there was a center for information about sexually transmitted diseases right in that hallway .
