    Note: wearing pants. Good. Would have distracted from the spleen.

    When you say "prominently," does that mean in the narrative or in a full page graphic spleen spread?

    Or is there a perhaps a real spleen inside the book? Spleens are in fact much cheaper than mini-cameras.

    That spleen is the story of America. It's not a metaphor. It is the actual history of this great nation.

    Sorry -- This Great Nation.

    Note to self: Must buy new desk for "pants-free" compatibility.

    Cuff-linked shirt untucked. A fine bit of haberdashery. And a spleen.

    Somehow, I do not think that venting one's spleen requires such extreme measures, but I hope the reinsertion was a success.

    I don't know that you can offer more information than I require.

    Are you going to finish that pig spleen?

    An overstuffed brain
    Engorged with obscure tidbits
    Makes one splenetic

    "I carry a twig — yes. Is it funny to you? It is not to me.
    A twig is a portion of a tree.
    At the end of a crosscut twig — many of you know this — there are rings.
    I don't mind telling you some things. Many things I, I musn't say.
    Just notice that my fireplace is boarded up."

    Call me cynical, but that looks to me like a glittery sock with some bacon stuck on it. Surely you would not attempt to mislead us, sir?

    I think there's a pig sedated in a hotel bathtub full of ice somewhere with stiches on his side and a note reading "Dial 911".

    I can almost verify that the piece of meat is NOT A SPLEEN. Spleens are organs and have a capsule. The flesh you have in hand is muscle and appears to be a tenderloin. Spleen indeed?
