Travel with me now, down a little lower on the back of your Bursars card, yes, the sacroiliac region--where the signature is. Start rubbing. Rub hard!!! Harder!!! That's it... You see it? What's the opposite of "firmament," in the biblical sense? You got it--VOID. All over where your signature used to be. VOIDVOIDVOIDVOIDVOIDVOID etc. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

That was back in the days when her sacroiliac swung free, and one night she met a tired businessman named George Leslie (Robert Ryan). He invited her to go with him to California for a six-week vacation, and she did. She went for a good many years after that, too, and gave him "peace and contentment."
