We're all mad here.
I had to smile at this passage. The one that follows it is pretty good, too.

"The waiter recommended a Basque liqueur called Izzarra. He brought in the bottle and poured a liqueur-glass full. He said Izzarra was made of the flowers of the Pyranees. The veritable flowers of the Pyranees. It looked like hair-oil and smelled like Italian strega. I told him to take the flowers of the Pyranees away and bring me a vieux marc."
