I love that one too, but basically the whole book is hilarious from start to
finish. Another great part is where he's describing John Watson. I'm
paraphrasing, but it's something like: "Take a couple of David Bowies, and
stick them onto a couple more David Bowie's and you'll have something that
doesn't look quite like him but which those who know him would find
hauntingly familiar. He was tall and he gangled."
