I suggest you locate your hot tub outside your house, so it won't do
too much damage if it catches fire or explodes. First you decide which
direction your hot tub should face for maximum solar energy. After
much trial and error, I have found that the best direction for a hot
tub to face is up.
-- Dave Barry, "The Taming of the Screw"

Velocity, for example, will be expressed in furlongs per fortnight.
The wages of sin are death; but after they're done taking out taxes,
it's just a tired feeling:
One can't proceed from the informal to the formal by formal means.
Leibowitz's Rule:
When hammering a nail, you will never hit your finger if you
hold the hammer with both hands.
