Entry 10284
"One of the parties stuck together must be killed." [Norfolk, 466:3 and material in volume 3. According to reports, See volume 3, surgeons at hospitals almost always killed the woman to save the man. If I am not mistaken, one woman was actually saved!]
The quoted statement asserts that one party must be killed. This is a reported assertion, not an established necessity or event; the hospital commentary is editorial.
Entry 10285
The easiest remedy for a man who has been measured: Man gets the string woman used in measuring. [Norfolk, 459:4.]
