Klenk spraying a small man with a seltzer bottle while a dog watches. A satirical passage written as a letter from the late agnostic orator Robert G. Ingersoll mailed from Hell to Klenk, expressing his desire for some of Headquarters' food, as well as its popularity among the realm's other residents, is contained within.
