I just realized that at
The Moby-Dick Big Read, a project that turns Melville's masterpiece into an audiobook with each chapter read by some one different, there is something funny indeed.
Chapter 95: The Cassock is all about an object
...longer than a Kentuckian is tall, nigh a foot in diameter at the base, and jet-black....
...the whale's penis.
That's not the funny part, though! To read "The Cassock," they chose John Waters.
That's funny.
