For those who, like me, have six thumbs on their right hands, a simple
solution to the Quest For the Perfect Hammock is in laying down a dollar
at Wal-Mart for four shower curtain rings.  Fastening hammock corners to
the rings makes it easier to remove the hammock: I could probably sew on
buttons if I hadn't got the manual dexterity of a bull-elephant.
 
"Welsh rhetoric is part of me, and my curse is that the world is full of
literal-minded morlocks who don't understand, and think I'm a crook
because their tongues are wrapped in burlap and mine is hinged with gold."

                                                "The Lyre of Orpheus"
