Quote #4
It was not long after Geel Piet's death that Lieutenant Borman started to complain of piles. (15.31)
Piles are another word for hemorrhoids, an illness that affects the very parts of the body that Borman preferred for torturing his victims. It's poetic justice to see someone being tortured by pains in their…ahem…rectum after torturing others with just the same sort of pain.
Quote #5
"It's God's justice," Gert confided to me. [. . .] Those of us who had been in the gym that night all knew Borman was under a curse. (15.32)
Here religion is used for good, because according to these guys, God is always right—this also foreshadows the ultimate revenge that Peekay will take on the Judge.
Quote #6
Lieutenant Borman died knowing what it felt like to have a donkey prick jammed up your arse until your entrails spill out. (15.70)
One word: ouch. This is an awfully graphic scene, and it hurts even to read it. But the point is that, even though Borman died of natural causes, his death is very similar to the one he inflicted on Geel Piet, meaning that perhaps God—or the People—have taken their revenge on Borman.
