I was more irritated by the attribution of baseball hats
universally to the working class. Whether Moore is using
his to misrepresent the working class, or unaccountably likes
them with wholesome peasant sincerity, I have no idea. In
any case, I am glad to have thrilled you with a Monty Python-
grade routine, although next time I do one I'll try to better
anticipate your taste in subject matter.
