al capone does my shirts

I think I have heard the expression "Capone does my shorts." The author, Gennifer Choldenko, points it out as something servicemen wrote in their letters in wartime to indicate they were stationed in San Francisco (even though Al Capone left Alcatraz in 1939).

This was quick and fun. I will keep an eye out for the author in the future. She mentions Temple Grandin ("America's Most Famous Autistic!") as a resource. I want to read her Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior.
