Back when marijuana was illegal in Oklahoma, during the anti-war years
when everybody was paranoid that their phones were tapped by the FBI,
a friend of mine would occasionally have phone conversations like
"Hey, Steve, I just got some .... Beer. Want to come over?"
"Yeah, Joe, I'd really like some .... Beer. I'll be there
in about an hour. Should I bring some .... Pizza?"
