I don't remember how the conversation led up to this, but the reference to owls is from Gavin Edwards' When a Man Loves a Walnut and Even More Misheard Lyrics, which we'd just been flipping through the day before. Someone had misheard the Beach Boys' "Help Me, Rhonda." The actual line:
Since she put me down, I been all through it in my head.
Someone misheard it as:
Since you put me down, there's been owls puking in my bed.
The quote is on page 90, accompanied by an illustration of a man opening the door to his bedroom to the sight of five owls, puking on his bed.
