TABOO?

RAY ROWLAND AND HIS DATE WERE ATTENDING A CONCERT AT
UNIVERSITY OF DETROIT MEMORIAL BUILDING ONE
SATURDAY (?) NIGHT. HE WAS DOUBLING WITH SOMEONE.
AT INTERMISSION THEY ALL TOOK A WALK DOWNSTAIRS.
POOR RAY HAD TO PERFORM ONE OF THOSE BODILY FUNCTIONS,
THE NAME OF WHICH IS SORT OF TABOOED BY CONTEMPORARY
SOCIETY. WHEN THEY REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE STEPS,
HE CAME OUT WITH SOMETHING LIKE: "SAY, DO YOU GIRLS
HAVE TO POWDER YOUR NOSES OR SOMETHING?" THE ANSWER
WAS, "NO." THEN HE SAID, "WELL YOU'LL HAVE TO
EXCUSE ME, BECAUSE I HAVE TO POWDER MINE!" HE
WAS GONE LIKE A FLASH.
