Reclusive author Thomas Pynchon dislikes meeting new people because he has Tourette's Syndrome. He can't meet a new woman without screaming "Whore! Whore! Whore! Fuck the proboscis monkey!" This makes relationships very difficult. When Pynchon recorded his voice for The Simpsons TV show it took over 4 hours for the take due to all the involuntary profanity.
