LOL.....ANother of my favorite lines! I re-read sections of that wonderful work every now and again. I dearly lovre "Short Chapter, Long Footnote" where the chapter is one word long and the footnote runs 20 pages. As he describes all the euphemisms for fuck, the one that always cracks me up the most is......
"She succumbed to his blandishments." She died but he went right on blandishing."
