I believe the commentator feel his "sense of humor" is shown by
getting some digs in (the "pale" and "parrot" cracks for John
Shade, and the "furies and harridans" for Sybil) while pretending
he doesn't know "Hurricane Lolita" refers to a novel by Nabokov. I
believe the commentator gets the reference. Matt Roth wrote:
In the Index, under the "Kinbote" entry, Kinbote gives us the
following: "his sense of humor, 680;" While there may be a touch
of wit in Kinbote’s entry, it doesn’t seem to merit special
mention. Am I missing something?
