“Major Major had been promoted by an I.B.M. Machine with a sense of humor almost as keen as his father’s.”
Joseph Heller speculates that there was only one possible career path for Major Major Major, who had been christened by his father as a cruel joke. He was definitely onto something there. I just found out that my brother’s friend Basil is a cook. It reminds me of the wardens of Cape Clear Island bird observatory - named Dave Bird, and Steve Wing. Were these guys doomed from birth to become ornithologists?
