More on humor

[S.A.Barkworth at sheffield.ac.uk]

Hello all

>I notice his humor has the same misfired quality.  I, for one, almost
>never laugh when I read Pynchon.

Three passages come to mind almost immediately:

        Mrs Quoad's selection of confectionary.
        Pig Bodine's list of culinary delights ( Fart Fondue was my
favourite! ).
        Roger Mexico ( I think ) urinataing on the committee around the table.

They caused real laughter - there is much that still causes the odd snigger
and I havn't read GR for 10 years.
