a truth universally acknowledged

[filkferengi]

It is a truth universally acknowledged that, for all the perv-asive undergarment curiosity hereabouts, *no one* is curious about Nahuseresh's, especially about how that nasty, itchy, & pleasingly permanent something unpleasant got in there. We don't want to know how Gen did it; we really don't.

Further deponent sayeth not.

I believe a long time ago on Sounis, everyone got into a debate about what type of undergarments the characters wear. The discussion got so extreme that the question was sent to Mrs. Turner (I think. Correct me if I'm wrong).

The set up of the verse is designed to mimic the opening line of "Pride and Prejudice".

"Tis a truth universally acknowleged that a man found in possession of good fourtune must be in want of a wife." And so on...

Very funny, Filk. Putting itching powder in Nahuseresh's undies, would be brilliant revenge.

(I'm rather childish aren't I?)
