Apparently, Joe Pye is Secretly David E. Kelley
So… a compound word is only true if the individual parts happen to be true. Interesting. Why don’t you try that in a court of law. (Do courts of law exist out here? I kind of don’t think so.)
Anyhow, Joe Pye promises to teach Sturdy how to live by the Code o’ th’ Hills, which is probably futile. I bet that at one of the schools Sturdy didn’t graduate from, one of his majors was in the Code o’ th’ Hills. Probably Harvard. (They don’t like to brag, but they have the top Code o’ th’ Hills program in the country. Well, they do like to brag, but you get my point
In additional notes: Joe Pye’s cane is exactly the same width as Sturdy’s nose. That’s pretty sweet

Where’s Ada, beady-eyed Ada, whilst all this transpires?
I think I may be the first person to have noticed that the probable real-life model for Sturdy is not, in fact, Stephen Colbert, but actually our late great former Prez, “Pappy” Bush (otherwise known as King George the First). Possibly there’s a bit of Colbert amalgam thrown in there somewhere, but the foundation matrix is clearly GWB. The Pyes surely would not approve of them Skull and Bones men, though they might find some of their initiation rites not without interest.
