Craig Brown Quotes
Without Anything Being Said, There Were No Women At Our Lunches. Not That We Were Talking Pussy. Or Not Much. But It Was A Chaps Thing. Seasoned Observers All, We Set The World, Such As It Was, To Rights, Offsetting Our Intellectual Know-how With Truly Wondrous Flights Of Fancy. It Was At The Time Of The Ruinous Yet Avoidable Civil War In Angola, In Which Far Too Many People Died, Or, In Our Immortal Parlance, Became 'deadified.' It Might Have Been Anyone - Actually, I [Christopher Hitchens] Am Sure It Was Our Poet Friend Craig Raine - Who Came Up With The Appalling Yet Unforgettable Idea That There Is A Design Flaw In The Female Form, And That The Breasts And The Buttocks Really Ought To Be On The Same Side. For Myself, I Have Oft Been Perplexed As To Why Our Heads Are Where, In A Truly Just World, Our Penises Really Ought To Be, And My Arse Is Not Located Between My Chin And My Nose, Allowing Me Mellifluously To Talk Out Of It.
