My Philosophy:

People who use the phrase 'a lone tear ran down his face' - or any variation on the named, 'a lone tear' being the vital point - deserved to be lined up and shot. In the face.

It is a cliché. And a terrible one at that.

Who cries single tears? Because the only people that spring to mind are grown men are trying extraordinarily hard to suppress the fact that you've just accidentally kneed them in the balls.

Have a fun life
