Revision as of 23:41, 25 December 2022

Much humor— certainly much of mine— is based on subliminal menace of unspoken fears

And other than sex and death (the former explicit in L'eggs, the latter implicit), what is more menacing than recursion?

"L'eggs all the way down" is a of infinitely recursive pantyhose, introduced in 1969 by Hanes, which radically changed the recursive hosiery marketplace. The novel developments were the egg-shaped recursive plastic product container, the shift to consignment sales in drug stores and groceries, and the in-store "Matryoshka doll" product racks designed to emphasize the infinitely self-referential egg shape.
