VLVL2: Pynchon Humor

[davemarc]

The reference to Hector's skill at "foot-assisted entry" (338)  tickled me
and made me think of that section (324-5) where the folks wake up to "Wachet
Auf." That amused me too, especially after I listened to the tune and
imagined the scene.

have been chosen for its lowbrow pun." Please add to my pleasure--what's the
pun?
