Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums Chapter 27 in one sentence



Your assignment for today was to read Chapter 27 of The Dharma Bums and summarize it in one sentence. Below is my one-sentence summary -- post yours as a comment. I'd also love to see general comments about the chapter, or questions.


The Dharma Bums Chapter 27 in one sentence:
When Japhy and Ray go into San Francisco to get haircuts and poke around the Salvation Army and Goodwill stores, Ray buys two poorboys of ruby port and gets drunk, Japhy and he get into an argument over Ray drinking too much so Japhy goes to a Buddhist lecture in Berkeley while Ray stays at Alvah's, then Japhy reappears after two hours drunk as a hoot owl because they were all drinking saki at the lecture and says Ray was right about drinking and they never had an argument again.


Your next assignment is to read The Dharma Bums Chapter 28 and post a one-sentence summary.
