"JAZZ MORATORIUM--I think we should go on a bit of a "jazz" moratorium until we get more information.  The CHICAGO TRIBUNE, for one, will be out soon.

HUNGRY: STOMACH THINKS THROAT'S BEEN CUT

   I told cookbook seller Bonny Slotnick about "makes your tongue slap your throat," and she gave me "so hungry your stomach thinks your throat's been cut."  It appears to be Ozzie.

It's important to learn the difference between hunger and appetite.
Hunger is when your stomach thinks your throat's been cut. Appetite is
when you just crave a snack or a specific food. Have another glass of
water in any case. It may help. Don't go "hungry" on a diet.

Kangaroos in the top paddock = a bit dumb
Stomach thinks your throat's been cut = extremely hungry
Wouldn't shout if a shark bit him = extremely mean
