Vercotti: I was terrified of him. Everyone was terrified of Doug. I've seen
grown men pull their own heads off rather than see Doug. Even
Dinsdale was frightened of Doug.
Interviewer: What did he do?
Vercotti: He used sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony,
metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and satire.
