I'm currently reading THE SHARK-INFESTED CUSTARD and lo and
behold, there's a character there in the first part of it
that walks around dressed exactly like that -- in a yellow
jumpsuit and no underwear.
Now, I can understand dental problems and food as reoccuring
themes; all of us eat and some have bad teeth. But
*this*?
Btw, in WILD WIVES I noticed the occurence of the word "fuck"
in it. How on earth did he get away with that in 1956? No
teeth in it, though, and very little food.
