Parasites And Cockroaches

Right off the bat, we all got crabs, and when you get a crab, you don't get rid of them. You know, they have, back in those years, the way they used to get rid of crabs was with blue ointment. But now they have other stuff that's not quite so dangerous, there's mercury in blue ointment. Unless you have the correct stuff, you just can't get rid of crabs. I still had crabs four years later! We all did, until the Americans dropped supplies of stuff that we got rid of them. So the crabs were there and they were there to stay. We all had lice and the lice were there to stay for the four years, the same as the crabs. But in Hong Kong, both in North Point and over in Sham Shui Po, we had bed bugs, they're terrible. These guys march out like an army every damn night, they disappear in the daytime but they come at night. And you know, if you squash a bed bug they stink. One bad thing, you know what a bed bug, you ever smell one once, you never forget. You squash one and smell 'em, oh my God, they're terrible stinky things. But we had... and then... so we had the crabs, the lice and the bed bugs. Then there was the cockroaches. If you want to see a cockroach, go to Hong Kong. They got lots of cockroaches in these buildings in Canada here and they're about ran inch long and they’re grey. These suckers, ain’t an inch long, they're from what three to three and a half, four inches long and they're big around like that. And it got to a point some of the guy were so hungry they were catching them things and making a little bit of an electric fire and roasting them, eating them. They're eating cockroaches.
