Yes.  Get is non-destructive and just moves the pointer to the
queue top.  Put is is non-repeating only because the items are left 
in the queue.  

oper      queue
q.put(A)  A
q.put(B)  AB
q.put(A)  AB
q.put(C)  ABC
q.get()   ABC
          ^
q.get()   ABC 
           ^
q.get()   ABC 
            ^
q.put(A)  ABC
            ^
