Texas and Iceland

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

Happy landings, Henry!

"At odd moments of the day Pointsman, fascinated, discovers himself with
an erect penis. He begins making jokes, English Pavlovian jokes, nearly
all of which depend on one unhappy accident: the Latin *cortex*
translates into English as "bark," not to mention the well-known and
humorous relation between dogs and trees (these are bad enough, and most
PISCES folk have the good sense to avoid them, but they are dazzling
witticisms compared with jokes *out* of the mainstream, such as the
extraordinary  "What did the Cockney exclaim to the cowboy from San
Antonio?"). (GR 168)

Can it be anything alse than "Cor, Tex!"
