Hehe, that took me 3 readthroughs to get completely, the first read was good and each subsequent one was even better.
The first non-sequitur threw me off, like it did Seb, full of wtf’edness. The idea that Mark didn’t have the stamina for the thinking needed for his taxes was a stroke of genius.
It really builds up on itself, each run through you get the last non-sequitur and that lets you get the next one on the next read. You’ve perfected recursive wtf literature.
