Wait: You did what, now?

Another excerpt from On The Road by Jack Kerouac, ©1955:

I went out to the cemetery and climbed a tree.  In the tree I sang “Blue Skies.”  Terry and Johnny sat in the grass; we had grapes.


There are certain passages in this book that sound like they’re straight out of Zippy the Pinhead.
