Which book is most likely to be that crazy uncle who constantly walks around, demanding, "pull my finger"?



If there's a book that, as it ages, grows more fond of cheap fart jokes, nudie mags, and Natty Light, I imagine it to be The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne. Always a source of entertainment at any family picnic.

I don't know about the single part; isn't that uncle usually married to a flat and proper wife who wears holiday sweatshirts adorned with buttons, felt, and puffy paint?
