I think they’re important.” “Did you learn anything in Zurich?” “Nothing startling,” she said. “Money’s flying all over; syndicates are trying to find internal investments where bureaucratic machineries look

It’s like the friend from California who came to visit me in New Y and couldn’t stop laughing when he ork discovered there was a neighborhood in Queens called Flushing. I’d gone through a childhood full of potty humor— including the entire I.P. line; remember The Purple River by I.P. Peculiar and The Golden River by I.P.

se abre paso en la desfiguración del nombre. Esclarecimientos de tipo semejante se nos imponen cuando atendemos a ciertos casos de trastrabarse con un efecto cómico o absurdo. «Ich Jordere Sie auf, auf das Wobl unseres Cbefs aufzustossen». Aquí un humor festivo es perturbado inesperadamente por la irrupción de una palabra que despierta una representación chocante y, tomando como paradigma ciertos dichos insultantes u ofensivos, no podemos sino conjeturar que ahí pugna por expresarse una tendencia

Rasul had been of Middle Eastern stock, and he’d had quite a sense of humor. “He survived the takeover.” “Yes, because he agreed to become a spy for Victor, and therefore for Felipe.
