In Which Pynchon Makes an Appearance

[alice wellintown]

You won't want to hang with Dixon if he's exploiting you because he's a
white guy from Europe and you are a black gal from Africa.

Or with Zoyd if you are his ex-lover and want to be left alone, or one of
his daughter's girlfriends when he's fishing for jailbait.

Or with Doc when he gets that name tagged to him for the work he does with
a doctor's bag.

No that I mind a man with a past, even some skeletons in the closet...hell,
we all sin somehow, but then again, that's a moral center kinda idea, like
jesus sez, so that won't do for you sort of moral center guys. Nope, it's
just not gonna work out if you have to bend it like the Flecktone's bango
string to ger bonzo back in the good Graces of the lawd.
