January 2020 - An arrow to the knee

In the days of old, people may have been heard saying,
"I took an arrow to the knee." While many would put this
off as a mere Skyrim reference, it can actually be referred
to as an alternation to the act of marriage. Therefore, all
those guards took arrows to knees, but not the type that
flies through the sky and kills you. The type that swoops
you off your feet and makes you fall on the hard ground.
landing you on some rusty nail that then festers, sucks
the life out of you, and brings about your eternal suffering.
