I keep hearing, “Nowhere
in Humpty Dumpty does it say he's an egg.”
That's because it's a
very old riddle! That he's an egg is the answer, not the story, so of course it's not given.

A post or two back I recommended writer Lawrence Block. I have to withdraw that recommendation. Some of his books contain scenes of nasty sex. I suspect it has a purpose, perhaps to lead the reader to distaste or dislike for some of his characters.
Perhaps it works too well.
Blech.
