A calibrated scale of sound-pressure-level used to measure the degree of ambient noise inside a library. Named after the infamous Thomas E. Dewey and his thunderously-cacophonous presidential campaign against Harry Truman.

The little-known "sister" statue of Lady Liberty, this monument is a testament to our legal-system's "escape hatch" loophole which allows wrongdoers to be let off the hook for anything other than super-violent/serious crimes if they can just lay low for two or six years.

No, it won't --- YouTube is gonna play at least one more ad before letting you watch your show again.
Now dat Fletcher Reede cannot actively tell fibs anymore, perhaps he can at least partially slake his "forked tongue" cravings by taking a job cueing up da product/political ads for YouTube videos --- since he would merely be playing da ads themselves but letting someone else do da inserting of da "Your video will resume in _ seconds" messages, said second computer-stiff will actually be doing da lying during da programs.
