He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep. Who the f **k uses a stone as a pillow? “Hmm, lemme see, there’s gotta be some crap around here I can use to rectify the appalling softness of the ground.”
