My misspeaking; I apologize.  No intention to irritate -- more to amuse.
The pronoun part was serious, though.  But I'd rather say it in a fun way
than a "section man" way.  The rest was as nonsensical as any good
surrealist.  I have no page refererences for you.  To my knowledge, neither
Magritte appears in Catcher; I was kind of punning (as Malcolm caught me)
on Paul Simon's song, "Rene and Georgette Magritte, After the War."

And back to Rene M., this message is not a joke.  It's serious.

I try never to irritate.  I spend half my life fleeing irritation.  I'm not
eager to inject any into the world!
