Is the uncertainty principle culturally deranging?

[jochen stremmel]

One of the best pieces of American prose in the 20th century was
privately published: A Guide for the Undehemorrhoided by Charles
Willeford.

First paragraph?

Here it is:

In hospital language a patient does not urinate, micturate, pee, piss,
or take a leak. He voids. Or, as in my case, he is unable to void.

Dennis McMillan has the first 9 pages of a booklet that has 32 altogether.
