    He was as bald as a hump.
    His ears stuck out like teacups
    and his tongue, my God, his tongue,
    like a red worm and when he kissed
    it crawled right in.

    What is called common sense is excellent in its department, and as invaluable as the virtue of conformity in the army and navy,—for there must be subordination,—but uncommon sense, that sense which is common only to the wisest, is as much more excellent as it is more rare.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
