Ah, yes, divorce... from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man's genitals through his wallet.
Robin Williams
Avoid using the word 'very' because it's lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason boys - to woo women - and in that endeavor, laziness will not do.
