Lack of rea to the hair: Dan sat down on a box, and pulled up more boxes for us, without f us to sit down on them, but just leaving them there, so that if we wao sit down on them, we could. "You know, Klips was right I think when he spoke of the blaing effect of ordinary language, referring, as I recall, to the part that sort of, you know, fills iweeher parts. That part, the filling you might say, of which the expression you might say is a good example, is to me the most iing part, and of course it might also be called the stuffing I suppose, and there is probably also, in addition, some other word that would do as well, to describe it, or maybe a number of them. But the quality this stuffing has, that the other parts of verbality do not have, is two-parted, perhaps: (1) an endless quality and (2) a sludge quality. Of course that is possibly two qualities but I prefer to think of them as different aspects of a single quality, if you think that way. The endless aspect of stuffing is that it goes on and on, in many different forms, and in fact our exges are in large measure posed of it, in larger measure even, perhaps, than they are posed of that which is not stuffing. The sludge quality is the heavihat this stuff has, similar to the heavier motor oils, a kind of doull but still fluid, if you follow me, and I t help thinking that this downwardness is valuable, although its hard to say just hht at the moment. So, summing up, there is a relatioween what I have been saying and what were doing here at the plant with these plastic buffalo humps. Now youre probably familiar with the fact that the per-capita produ of trash in this try is up from 2.75 pounds per day in 1920 to 4.5 pounds per day in 1965, the last year for which we have figures, and is increasing at the rate of about four pert a year. Now that rate will probably go up, because its been going up, and I hazard that we may very well soon reach a point where its 100 pert. Now at such a point, you will agree, the question turns from a question of disposing of this trash to a question of appreciating its qualities, because, after all, its 100 pert, right? And there o longer be any question of disposing of it, because its all there is, and we will simply have to learn how to dig it -- thats slang, but peculiarly appropriate here. So thats why were in humps, right now, more really from a philosophical point of view than because we find them a great moneymaker. They are trash, and what in fact could be more useless or trashlike? Its that we want to be on the leading edge of this trash phenomenon, the everted sphere of the future, and thats why articular attention, too, to those aspects of language that may be seen as a model of the trash phenomenon. And its certainly been a pleasure showing you around the plant this afternoon, aing you, and talking to you about these things, which are really more important, I believe, than people tend to think. Would you like a cold Coke from the ae now, before you go?"
Additional reas to the hair: "To be a horsewife," Edward said. "That, my friends, is my text for today. This important slot in our society, ceptualized by God as very nearly the key to the whole thing as Thomas tells us, has suffered i months and in this house a degree of denigration. I have heard it; I have been saddened by it. So I want today if I to dispel some of these wrong ideas
