_________________________________________ / Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, \ | of my own knowledge, what there is | | particularly dead about a door-nail. I | | might have been inclined, myself, to | | regard a coffin-nail as the deadest | | piece of ironmongery in the trade. But | | the wisdom of our ancestors is in the | | simile; and my unhallowed hands shall | | not disturb it, or the Country's done | | for. You will therefore permit me to | | repeat, emphatically, that Marley was | | as dead as a door-nail. | | | \ -- Charles Dickens, "A Christmas Carol" / ----------------------------------------- \ ,-----._ . \ . ,' `-.__,------._ // \ __\\' `-.
