Gookum & Bananas

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

GOOKUM--I read most of Stanley Walker and I have that "gookum."  Not that I want gookum, but I have it.  It´s probably next to my steam beer.

BANANAS--My regular tour guide added that lawyers are also called "bananas."  Why?  "Because they´re always crooked."

CAFE CONQUISTADOR--Capuccino with Kahlua.
CARAJILLO--Coffee with Brandy.

MINGA--Community work. (OED?)

(I´m going to CNN.com now.  Any more airline disasters in New York?--ed.)
