- falsedan 9y agoI you loved that 'joke', then get this: in Quicksilver, Jack Shaftoe ends up working at an animal hospital as a human blood bag, feeding the bloodsucking insects. He get the job since the local workers are refusing to work as a negotiating tactic, so the owner employs him as an outsider. The work entails that he sustain multiple bloody injuries, so he gets covered with what he literally is: a scab. I prefer David's Foster Wallace's gymnosophist in Infinite Jest, who literally never moved from the gym.
