WTF IS A WIDOW?
WIDOWS & ORPHANS
                                                                               widow          my husband died :[


One of the things Ford Prefect had always found                thought, their mouths probably seize up.
hardest to understand about humans was their habit of
continually stating and repeating the very very obvious,       After a few months' consideration and observation
as in It's a nice day, or You're very tall, or Oh dear you     he abandoned this theory in favour of a new one. If
seem to have fallen down a thirty-foot well, are you           they don't keep on exercising their lips, he thought,
alright? At first Ford had formed a theory to account           their brains start working. After a while he
for this strange behaviour. for this strange behaviour.        abandoned this one as well as being obstructively
If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he           cynical.


                                                                          orphan
                                                             i have a horrible red afro and no parents :[
PROOF DESIGNERS ARE SADISTS
           A common mnemonic is
 An orphan has no past; a widow has no future
                       or
  An orphan is left behind, where as a widow
              must go on alone
