Driving A Taxi Is Like Going To School/I Get Schooled On The Hays Act, Jazz and Betty Boop

A couple of nights ago I had this passenger who told me she is working on a Phd. on Betty Boop and the Hays Act. She was fascinating and I decided to go google this stuff up. I learned that the Betty Boop cartoons were more or less equal to today's music videos. The cartoons featured the greats of Jazz. She was one hot wild and crazy young woman until they outlawed marijuana. Now I am not an advocate of marijuana, nor alcohol nor overeating. Marijuana is illegal and as a licensed taxi driver and before that a Child Protective worker I don't smoke the stuff. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has though and he said he liked it just fine.
