GR translation: jingling his gastric jewelry

[Bled Welder]

Obviously on here I never intend to insult or offend anyone.  Oh wait,
maybe I do.  It's conceivable.

Mr. Jing, how I'm going to explain this is going to suddenly obvious to you
that you'll think that you maybe didn't in retrospect, want to raise the
issue.

"jingling his gastric jewelry"

It's a really good fart.  Jingling is simply a fancypants way of leading to
the farting.

I appreciate your translating him.  But I've said it on here before.
 Pynchon is a humorist.  And, I mean, nobody actually jingles.  That word
intones music.  So there you have it.  A jewel of a fart..
