“I wish to goodness I knew the man who invented this infernal game [golf]. I’d strangle him. But I suppose he’s been dead for ages. Still, I could go and jump on his grave.”
This reminds me of the reaction of slaughterhouse workers when animals survive the initial bolt in the skull and start thrashing as they’re being skinned alive on the assembly line. The animals’ reaction to pain often angers the workers rather than elicit their sympathy.

That’s supposed to be a suspension bridge, and there’s a pier. What I don’t understand is what they were shoveling and why there’s dirt when it looks like they threw him into the ocean. Or is that really concrete that he got on his suit?
