Lenny Bruce on Kids Sniffing Aeroplane Glue

Photo of Lenny Bruce There were kids eight or nine years old sniffing aeroplane glue, to get high on. These kids are responsible for turning musicians onto a lot of things they never knew about actually. So, I had a fantasy, how it happened. Kid is alone in his room, it's Saturday. Kid is played by George Macready, "Now lets see, I'm all alone in a room and it's Saturday, I'll make an aeroplane, that's what I'll do. Lancaster is a good structural design, I'll get the balsa wood here, cut it out, sand if off. Now a little aeroplane glue, I'll rub it on the rag and... Hey now, ha ha ha. Ohh. I'm getting loaded. Is is possible to get loaded on aeroplane glue? Maybe it's stuffy, I'll call my dog over. Fidika come here darling and smell this rag. Smell it you freaky little doggy. Smell the rag Fidika, Fidika, Fidika!!! He's up there. I've done it. I'm the Louis Pasteur of junkiedom. Out of my skull for 10 cents. Well there's much work to be done now. Horses hoofs to melt down. Noses to get ready." Cut to the toy store. Any toy store. Any neighbourhood Kid walks in. "Hello Chandler, nice store you got here. Gimme a nickels worth of pencils. Big boy tablet. Ju-ju beans. Tailspin Tommy book and 2000 tubes of aeroplane glue."
