Our LA people had business near China Town. As it involved puppets and fine art I don't have space to even attempt an explanation. But lets have a look at a few oddities along the way.

Remarkably once you get through the rest of the list, all the way from "More Sweat of Hands and Feet" through "Chicken Breast" and "Penis Shrink Inside" you hit the catch all at the bottom. "Unusual Disease For Men's Women's and Children".
Here's another enigma:

Ah, but one of them was high octane Nightmare Fuel.....
Hi there kid!!!
