The quote reflects an amusing and surprising incident recounted by characters Virgil and Morton. Morton recalls a moment when he threw someone out of a window, a term he describes as "defenestration." Despite being drunk at the time, he faced consequences from the police, who didn’t see his inebriation as a valid excuse. The humor lies in the combination of the seriousness of the act and the lighthearted irreverence with which he discusses it.

The aftermath of the defenestration, which resulted in a seriously injured individual who landed on a Prius, adds a layer of absurdity. Virgil's astonishment at this oddly specific event—the so-called "defenestration of New Prague"—captures the surreal blend of violence and humor that characterizes their conversation. It illustrates how memorable and unconventional incidents can leave a lasting impression, even when they are accompanied by significant repercussions.
