There lived a redheaded man who had no eyes or ears. He didn__ have hair either, so he was called a redhead arbitrarily. He couldn__ talk because he had no mouth. He had no nose either. He didn__ even have arms or legs. He had no stomach, he had no back, he had no spine, and he had no innards at all. He didn__ have anything. So we don__ even know who we__e talking about. It__ better that we don__ talk about him any more.
