cents , " said the hamburger man.

and he made his official capacity
known to the hamburger man.
"I don't care , mayor or no mayor ,
you pay what I ask. I've paid your
price , now you pay mine , " said the
sandwich salesman.

and Special Officer Sasse came , too.
The hamburger man was not "pinch
ed , " but when the sandwich flew Into
the street and the mayor's money onto
the walk , the mayor walked toward
the "red hot" with anger flashing from
his eyes.
"I'll put you behind the bars you , "
ho said , but the hamburger man did
not wilt and the mayor walked away
with his money.
"Sorry to hurt the mayor's feelings ,
but I've ' paid him his price , let him
pay me mine. We all charge ton cents
for a hamburger and there's no rebate
for mayor * , " said the hamburger man
