Carey Mercer is both hilarious, and a fucking genius. The image of Palinurus humming 'Bird On A Wire' sums up the meaning of this song in one line, but i wouldn't expect that many understand what that means, nor do i think Mercer would. I don't want to explain, so here are a couple links.
But none of that accounts for the incredible pairing, nor the coupling of the word 'humming' with the title of a song, the first word of which is 'bird'. Immortality as literature, right? Gilgamesh. You know he's a highschool English teacher? Figures.
