Talk about circular reasoning. We've got a guy called LtFielding, and he's sending us a link to the site that we're already on (more or less). Suddenly it ties together jokes from two completely different Victorian authors. On the one hand, there is the inevitable "sick of cleverness" gag from The Importance of Being Earnest that Zeke and I have already driven into the ground. On the other hand, we've got the more obscure "Mr. F" gag from Sense and Sensibility. "Maybe he's a handsome lefftenant." "The elusive Mr. F." "He has no profession." Et cetera. Aud nauseum.
