The weirdest part was they included the setups for the jokes, then skipped the punchlines.
I really liked how they had Mr. Prosser (the guy with the bulldozer), wearing a fur lined Mongol hat, but if you hadn’t read the book, you’d have no idea why that was funny.
“Mr L Prosser was, as they say, only human. In other words he was a carbon-based life form descended from an ape. More specifically he was forty, fat and shabby and worked for the local council. Curiously enough, though he didn’t know it, he was also a direct male-line descendant of Genghis Khan, though intervening generations and racial mixing had so juggled his genes that he had no discernible Mongoloid characteristics, and the only vestiges left in Mr L Prosser of his mighty ancestry were a pronounced stoutness about the tum and a predilection for little fur hats.”
