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." -- Robertson Davies, "The Lyre of Orpheus" [Posted in FML issue 1034]
