The Choker in the Pack
The Choker in the Pack.
Man's collar is his badge of serfdom. It is the choker in the pack that euchres all his tricks in the game of life, and causes him to shuffle off without a point in his favour. If he could unstarch his natural instincts and unleash the joy-hounds, he might be able to enjoy life as much as a bull-ant, the bull's aunt, the bullock's uncle, the moth's mother, and the rabbit's foreign relations. But the homo-globule is so impressed by himself that he can seldom forget himself long enough to remember to forget to remember himself.
