They were the most depressing group of people Yossarian had ever been with. They were always in high spirits. They laughed at everything. The called him 'Yo-Yo' jocularly and came in tipsy late at night and woke him up with their clumsy, bumping. giggling efforts to be quiet, then bombarded him with asinine shouts of hilarious good-fellowship when he sat up cursing to complain. He wanted to massacre them each time they did. They reminded him of Donald Duck's nephews. They were afraid of Yossarian and persecuted him incessantly with nagging generosity and with their exasperating insistence on doing small favours for him. They were reckless, puerile, congenial, naive, presumptuous, deferential and rambunctious. They were dumb; they had no complaints.
