"Mother made me a homosexual" (1967)

[Wilson Gray]

A graffito that I saw on the wall of the mens' room of the Jellybean
Lounge at Brown University:

"God didn't create the world in six days. Instead, He fucked off for
five days, then pulled an all-nighter."

I saw this in 1972, but who knows when it was written.

Just heard someone say, "He tells it how it is." I wonder when "how"
began to replace "like." (This is just a random thought, y'all. No need
to go to the trouble of researching the answer for me, though I do
appreciate the kindness.)
