Did you ever have one of those days
When your head fills with gunk, your eyes glaze?
If you talk it's a jumble,
Try to walk and you stumble,
And your bedroom becomes like a maze?
Private eye Philip Marlowe (Dick Powell) in Murder, My Sweet (Edward Dmytryk, 1944). "'Okay Marlowe,' I said to myself. 'You're a tough guy. You've been sapped twice, choked, beaten silly with a gun, shot in the arm until you're crazy as a couple of waltzing mice. Now let's see you do something really tough - like putting your pants on.'" Title by lazy-eyed David Cairns.
