Quote #10
A COCK and a BULL, said Yorick—And one of the best of its kind, I ever heard. (9.33.17)
In the last line of the book, it seems like Tristram (or Yorick, really) is dismissing the entire thing as a joke. Is he being serious? Well, how much do you trust Tristram as an author? Does he know what he's doing, or is the whole book just one big Shandyean hobby-horse?
