BATM and FSOTW SPOILERS below: oh Bruce. first you amaze me with catching this anomaly then i have to mull it over all day. which isn't a bad thing it's just that i have to go play golf. there i will be, sweating over a 2ft putt for bogey thinking about ambergris.  i reread the passage, hoping each time that i could stretch allusion to the point where i could believe POB was using "you found me" to mean Jacks ship. but it is clear even to this fuddle head the paragraph is saying ...

'Why do we laugh? There was nothing ...
