unearths some literary gems.
From Murder Makes Me Nervous, by Margaret Scherf:
***"What would Nancy Winslow want with a Constable [painting]? She'd be just as happy with a pineapple soda."[I'm not sure I've ever heard of a pineapple soda, but it sure sounds funnier than most sodas, even a strawberry soda.]***"You know a lot of people with low I.Q.s.""Charlie makes up for Irene. He's a walking statistic."***Harold closed the Post and opened his large pink face.***"The solitude here is so crowded."***[Zeugma dept.]"Heroic Weldon enters in the nick of time and a Brooks Brothers shirt."***On three drinks Dick would write a full column about a tomato-can label.
[This joke predates Andy Warhol's soup-can art by about a decade and a half.]
