Death has got something to be said for it:
There’s no need to get out of bed for it:
Wherever you may be,
They bring it to you, free.

From the Trivia File
If you study your Bible you run across a strange passage in Genesis 24:9, where Abraham’s servant swore an oath, by placing his hand, “under the thigh” of his master. “Thigh” was a common euphemism used instead of “penis” because of the fear of mentioning the sacred organ directly. This oath sworn on the testicles, was the Hebrew method of swearing by one’s word, or seed, or lineage that the vow would be carried out. Hence all the words like testament, testify, and testimony are derivatives of this promise, oath or covenant between the two parties. Testament, testimony, testicles, test, testify, the word, and a Man’s Word are all related.
