Abstract:
"Revolving door" is generally played by persons found drunk in public, and by police officers, judges, and jailers. The rules of the game require public drunkards to "make trouble." Police, court, and jail personnel then get them to "take their medicine." All players seek longevity. Their object is just to stay in the game. In this game, however, unlike others, seniority and ex pertise bring discredit rather than fame and fortune. Lack of rewards, ill-feeling, and growing public distaste have opened the game to innovations.
