Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think sucking remnants of Bernard Manning off their fingers is a pretty neat idea.

Call me Ismael. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would suck the remains of Bernard Manning off my fingers and see the watery part of the world.

The first time Yossarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him. Yossarian was in the hospital, sucking the remnants of Bernard Manning off his fingers...
@woe2you @tommoree @sen @TheBreadmonkey @davidbcohen @blabberlicious @mothninja @arratoon @Nickiquote @DJDarren I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots;
