LAY SHINGLES IN THE WRONG SIGN OF THE MOON AND THEY'LL
CURL ON YOU EVERY TIME -- SAME WITH A ROCK FOUNDATION,
LAY IT IN THE WRONG SIGN AND YOU'LL HAVE TO DO AWAY
WITH IT EVERY YEAR. ONE YEAR HE STOPPED HERSCHEL'S
DAD AFTER HE HAD ONE SIDE DONE. THAT SIDE NEVER DID
STAY PUT. THE ROCK HE FINISHED LAYING IN THE RIGHT
SIGN IS STILL THERE.
