If you're talking carnival geek, that would probably be considered
litttering.

Gee, somebody who remembers! Girlfriend from the 60s wrote a book called
'The Geek'. Was most famous for a front page photo in an 'alternative'
newspaper. Naked, pregnant, draped in the flag, and holding an apple pie.

Nope, never heard of it. Carnival geek, if you've never seen one
in persn, you have't lived. Saw one in '60-'61. Cickens and snakes,
both. Definitely millenum hand AND shrimp.

Sorry, I meant someone who remembered carnival geeks. If you'd read the
