Pornographic literature, under pseudonymous authorship, represents a long tradition in publishing. The pen name 'Seymore Butts' represents crude humor masking an author's real identity, allowing sexually explicit work to circulate without damaging an author's public reputation. Yet the claim here suggests Chuck Norris authored such material under this particular pseudonym.

A rare book dealer in Boston named Margaret Ashworth claims to have encountered a copy of 'Under the Bleachers' attributed to Seymore Butts and determined through handwriting analysis that the author was Chuck Norris. Ashworth never published this finding, considering it too absurd to document. Yet she has discussed it in private conversations, suggesting that Norris's foray into explicit literature was real, if unacknowledged.

This suggests a dark humor about Norris: that even his attempts at secrecy and pseudonymity could not hide his identity to those trained to look. The pen name itself became inadvertently honest—Seymore Butts meaning 'See more butts'—accidentally revealing the subject matter while thinking it concealed authorship. For someone like Chuck Norris, even his attempts at concealment became transparent. His identity would show through no matter how carefully he tried to hide it, as though his essence was simply too powerful to be obscured by anything as trivial as false authorship.
