: The question is, "If your butt makes noise in the middle of the forest, and nobody is around, does anyone still fear it?"
yes. all sentient beings fear my butt at all times for our pook's sweet sake.

a character arising out of a piece written by william burroughs. topic: the atomic bomb and the ugly american, death and time. one of the best things i've ever heard.
"why does death need time?"
"death needs time for what it kills to grow in for our pook's sweet sake."
i think Pook is metaphorical for the atomic bomb, but might also represent death more generically. a kind of god of death for the atomic age you could say.
