She looks it over quizzically, puzzled, squinting, then she turns the page over to see if there's anything on the back. Something in her understands it's short and she looks back at the words written, scrawled in red, on the front of the page.

"It's like haiku, you know?" I say. "Read it. Go on."

She clears her throat and hesitantly begins reading, slowly, stopping often. "The poor nigger on the wall. Look at him." She pauses and squints again at the paper, then hesitantly resumes. "Look at the poor nigger. Look at the poor nigger... on... the...wall." She stops again, faltering, looks at me, confused, then back at the paper.

"Go on," I say, looking around for a waiter. "Finish it."

She clears her throat and staring steadily at the paper tries to read the rest of it in a voice below a whisper. "Fuck him... Fuck the nigger on the wall."She falters again, then reads the last sentence, sighing. "Black man...is...de...debil?"

It got me in a weird way

is is supposed to be funny? it arouses pity in me for the silly writer

So many points in trout fishing in america. Also mason's telling of how he met his wife at a cheeserolling thing and she pushed him out of the world's largest cheese wheel's - 12 meters of some shit - way as the wagon breaks that carries it and it rolls down the hill.
When he sees it and thinks of a headline reporting his death, he thinks "Charles Mason; Victim of a Cheese malevolent."

Based choice, the scene where they mine a kidney stone out of his urethra is top kek too.

Jigoku by F. Gardner

>>18738636
Holy fuck

>>18737972
Just saying this forbidden word puts the Amerimutts in stiches. It's ridiculous, it's top-tier comedy to them.

Definitely not written by a gay man, what would make you think that?

>>18739148
Rabelais is hilarious. He's the earliest person I can remember reading, referencing the vagina as a hatchet wound. Turn off TBBT and reconvene with your spirit.

These excerpts have transformed my fear into a conviction. Namely, the fear that so much of Western philosophy is built upon the writings not of an ubermensch, but an uberfaggot

>>18737912
American Psycho

>>18737833
id start with the greeks

>>18739424
I don't remember that specifically but the sense of humor is so quintessentially Pynchon, god I love that man

>>18737846
I read that as if it had a Doppler effect, the middle of the line louder and the left and right parts quieter

>>18740919
this reads like a terrible fan fic
what book is this?

the author claims to know what Nietzsche could've dreamt of...phew! talk about being totally unaware of how idiotic you sound

>>18740829
>Rabelais is hilarious.
Maybe, but out of context he sounds childish to me...so yeah..i guess i'll read him one day. Some day when i have the will to laugh. Nothing makes me have fun anymore.

>>18737833

>he sounds childish to me
t. 12 year old larping as a 30 yr old.
What's wrong with juvenile jokes? Was joyce the most mature humorist ever? Barth? The greeks loved shit jokes, gaddis too. Poop jokes are baked into the fabric of the western canon. The waste land even had a section where a lady takes a shit in it, then it was edited out.

>>18741936
If you're a joyless cunt just do everyone a favor and don't go into threads about comedic lit. It's patently not meant for you. Nothing will ever be funny if you go into it with a non-conducive attitude.

>Rabelais is HILARIOUS

>>18741997
Rabelais is patrician
