Me, innocently reading a Nero Wolfe novel: I'm sorry, he was doing WHAT and WHERE?!

There's a Nero Wolfe novel in which Archie considers dating a sexy Communist, and he asks her if he should stick a hammer and sickle in his buttonhole. I regret that I'm sometimes a sloppy reader, so I blinked a few times before realizing, "Oh! BUTTONhole." But Nero's chair anus beats that.

I'm working my way through the corpus now but I haven't hit that gem yet!
