preferably atop a nice firm tuft of grass.

Watson's Law:
The reliability of machinery is inversely proportional to the
number and significance of any persons watching it.
There are people so addicted to exaggeration
that they can't tell the truth without lying.
-- Josh Billings
This is for all ill-treated fellows
Unborn and unbegot,
For them to read when they're in trouble
And I am not.
-- A. E. Housman
The more we disagree, the more chance there is that at least one of us
