...ShELL OIL (the floating decimal separates the words). Faced with a parking ticket, the calculator owner can come up with Oh hELLS BELLS. To greet a friend, you divide 98 by 7 to get hl.

It was simply that during the whole of a successful life as a schoolboy, soldier and father-in short, as a male-Morris was tormented by the growing realization that his gender, his inner self, his center of being, his very soul, was feminine.
