It might be true to say that Prof. Quondam Lichen in PTM is a joke
Scotsman, as it might I suppose be true to say that 'call me Myrtle' is a
sexist remark, but in the context of the whole piece being parodic and
occasional, however serious some of its content, the latter comment in
particular elides the nature of the text's performance with material of its
topic, in a not very helpful way.
