        I utterly resent your imputation that Alfred Jarry bears even the
remotest resemblance to anything having to do with psychoceramics--let
alone your implication that pataphysics is a subspecies of it or in any way
"pseudoscientific." You would do well, young man, to get thee out of your
CS nunnery for a bit and read Jarry's _Exploits and Opinions of Doctor
Faustroll, Pataphysician_, a novel composed entirely of bureaucratic
documents, or Shattuck's _The Banquet Years_.
