Who'd have believed it. Pity the coastal water at the end of Nick's road is only about 9 inches deep at most.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

So, if that happened, Nick would explode?

If it happened, it would be sort of ironic, given the exploding badger episode!
"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

You can only get shingles (Herpes Zoster) if you have previously had chickenpox. After having chickenpox the virus lies dormant in the nerves, and shingles occurs when it is revitalised in one particular nerve to the skin, thus explaining the way it affects a clearly demarcated band of skin only.
