Algernon
Swift is enjoying Kierkegaard’s existential classic about choosing a paddle (and
it not really mattering which one you choose because you’re up sh*t creek
anyway).
(Either Oar)
2.
Algernon
Swift sits on a hard chair and reads the latest sensational novel. The first thing he notices is a dryness in his
mouth as he starts to read. Then, as the
exciting plot develops, he experiences a tightness at the pit of his stomach, but
after an hour or more this gives way to a tiredness in his eyes and a dull ache
in his backside.
He
puts the book down and stands up, and discovers that he has lost all sensation
in that part of his anatomy.

(“But,
pray, what book is he reading?” you ask.
Answer: a popular erotic novel, slightly censored and now entitled Fifty Dashes of Grey.)
