Do I get it now when I am sitting here panting and ill with a headache, and with despair, and with lack of food? Damn such asininity, I say! What do you mean, I cry what do you mean?

A tip should always depend upon the service rendered.
The perfunctory hysterics of the stories of crime, graft, scandal, with their garbled sentences and wooden phrases; the delicious sagacities of the editorial pages like the mumbling of some adenoidal moron in a gulf of high winds; headlines saying a pompous "amen" to asininity and a hopeful "My God!" to confusion these caressed him, and brought the thought to him, "if there is anything worthy the absurdity of life it's a newspaper gibbering, whining, strutting, sprawled in attitudes of worship before the nine-and-ninety lies of the moment a caricature of absurdity itself."
