The beast was odd, and misshapen but not extremely ugly. "Let me take off one of your warts" he said. This wart is where you tried to make an skb list yourself. If the beast had ever run out of memory, he would have stupefied himself unnecessarily. The first try was painful, so he tried again till the bleeding stopped. And again, and again...
