“As American As Apple
Pie”
Hitchens takes us through the history of fellatio from Plato
to Humbert to Linda Lovelace…you can skip this one. There is one funny quote:
“My [Hitchens’] friend David Aaronovitch, a columnist in
London, wrote of his embarrassment at being in the same room as his young
daughter when the TV blared the news that the president of the United States
had received oral sex in an Oval Office vestibule. He felt crucially better,
but still shy, when the little girl asked him, 'Daddy, what’s a
vestibule?' "
New Learning: The film Deep Throat cost $25,000 to
make and grossed $600,000,000…all to the benefit of the financiers of the film,
the New York Columbo crime family.
New Word: insouciance = casual lack of concern,
indifference.
