An off-color thing for the American people
Now showing at the Cook Center on the IU Bloomington campus
From the novel Slapstick by Kurt Vonnegut:
"Mr. Grasso," I said, "I personally will be very disappointed, if you do not say to artificial relatives you hate, after I am elected, 'Brother or Sister or Cousin,' as the case may be, 'why don't you take a flying fuck as a rolling doughnut? Why don't you take a flying fuck at the mooooooooooooon?'"
Meet Mona Aamons
Born to Finnish and native San Lorenzan parents. She is a xylophone virtuoso. It has been said that every man in San Lorenzo is in love with her. In the Books of Bokonon it is written that, “Mona has the simplicity of the all.”
