Longfellow Deeds: Uh, that's a word we made up back home for people
who make foolish designs on paper when they're thinking: it's called doodling.
Almost everybody's a doodler; did you ever see a scratchpad in a telephone
booth? People draw the most idiotic pictures when they're thinking. Uh,
Dr. von Hallor here could probably think up a long name for it, because
he doodles all the time. Thank you. This is a piece of paper he was scribbling
on. I can't figure it out -- one minute it looks like a chimpanzee, and
the next minute it looks like a picture of Mr. Cedar. You look at it,
Judge. Exhibit A for the defense. Looks kind of stupid, doesn't it, Your
Honor? But I guess that's all right; if Dr. von Hallor has to, uh, doodle
to help him think, that's his business. Everybody does something different:
some people are, are ear-pullers; some are nail-biters; that, uh, Mr.
Semple over there is a nose-twitcher. And the lady next to him is a knuckle-cracker.
So you see, everybody does silly things to help them think. Well, I play
the tuba.
