Transcript[edit | edit source]
{Jon excitedly announces to his cat}
Jon: Garfield, I decided I should read more!
{Jon takes out his green book. If one looks through the low resolution, they can see that the book bind says Ulysses. He begins to read, as Garfield stares unamused}
Jon: "Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressing gown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him on the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned:
'Introibo ad altare Dei'.
Halted, he peered down the dark winding stairs and called out coarsely:

Solemnly he came forward and mounted the round gunrest. He faced about and blessed gravely thrice the tower, the surrounding land and the awaking mountains. Then, catching sight of Stephen Dedalus, he bent towards him and made rapid crosses in the air, gurgling in his throat and shaking his head.

He peered sideways up and gave a long slow whistle of call, then paused awhile in rapt attention, his even white teeth glistening here and there with gold points.
'Chrysostomos'
Two strong shrill whistles answered through the calm.
'Thanks, old chap,' he cried briskly. 'That will do nicely. Switch off the current, will you?'
He skipped off the gunrest and looked gravely at his watcher, gathering about his legs the loose folds of his gown. The plump shadowed face and sullen oval jowl recalled a prelate, patron of arts in the middle ages. A pleasant smile broke quietly over his lips
'The mockery of it!' he said gaily. 'Your absurd name, an ancient Greek!'
He pointed his finger in friendly jest and went over to the parapet, laughing to himself. Stephen Dedalus stepped up, followed him wearily halfway and sat down on the edge of the gunrest, watching him still as he..."
{Jon and the person editing this joke have a severe migraine}
Jon: That's enough for today...my head hurts
{Garfield announces to the audience}
Garfield: Tomorrow, "Remembrance of Things past"!
