"The heart is decietful above all things"

My darling Clementine is one of those songs that everybody knows but nobody knows. Perhaps cause it has like eleven verses. To summarise, fella falls in love with his bosses daughter(the eponymous Clementine) who then falls into a river and croaks. He is naturally a bit miffed up until the songs conclusion

"How I missed her, how I missed her//How I missed my Clementine//Til I kissed her little sister//And forgot my Clementine"

yup, guy is heartbroken until he swiftly moves on...to his deceased beau's little sis'.

of course, maybe we should just applaud this man's resilience

whether or not human fickleness is a positive or negative attribute is one of the great mysteries in life.


Jay,
you don't need these now that you have another pair.
