Henry’s defense to the charges—which would result in death by decapitation if he was found guilty—were primarily a plea for clemency because he would have no place to hang his many hats in the afterlife and besides, he had recently gotten a haircut that he liked very much.

Home is where they drop your head.

And, as if by magic, here comes the first verse and chorus of my all-time favorite They Might Be Giants song:

I returned a bag of groceries
accidentally taken off the shelf
before the expiration date.
I came back as a bag of groceries
accidentally taken off the shelf
before the date stamped on myself.
Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket,
And was everybody dancing on the casket?
Now it’s over; I’m dead and I haven’t done anything that I want,
Or I’m still alive and there’s nothing I want to do.

(happy sigh.  Thanks, fellas.)
