He SLINGS the Bawdy Selectric;
The armies of those keys engirth him, and he engirths them;
They will not let him off till he smashes them in, responds to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of some Stoli and cheap coke. (etc. etc. etc.)


INCOMPOSSIBLE, adj. Unable to exist if something else exists. Two things are incompossible when the world of being has scope enough for one of them, but not enough for both – as Walt Whitman's poetry and God's mercy to man.
(A. Bierce)
