Cruelty to Burt F.S.: the 'Morris Code' taunt and its sanction

texture · reported 6 Nov YDAU

• When: reported as recent in the 6 Nov morning scene; the taunting and its sanction precede it.
• What: Glynn has been observed telling Burt F. Smith — the resident who lost his hands and feet to a Christmas-Eve mugging — that a new arrival to the Disabled Room will be "without not only hands and feet but arms and legs and even a head and who communicates by farting in Morris Code." The House answers with its heaviest on-page sanction for cruelty: "three days Full-House Restriction and a week's extra Chore for what Johnette Foltz described in the Log as 'XSive Cruetly.'" The clearest look at the mean edge under the House-comedian surface.
