Podcast: Punch, Brothers, Punch (Mark Twain)
I’m back podcasting after a long post-surgical hiatus. I don’t have any new material to read, so instead, I’ve read one of my favorite comedic Mark Twain stories, Punch, Brothers, Punch. It’s a great little essay about a earworming mind-virus, prefiguring Snow Crash by a century and more!
There’s more administrivia than usual in this one as I get caught up.
Conductor, when you receive a fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
A blue trip slip for an eight-cent fare,
A buff trip slip for a six-cent fare,
A pink trip slip for a three-cent fare,
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
CHORUS
Punch, brothers! punch with care!
Punch in the presence of the passenjare!
