"Scurvy" is a word in ENGLISH
A disease characterized by livid spots, especially about
the thighs and legs, due to extravasation of blood, and by spongy gums,
and bleeding from almost all the mucous membranes. It is accompanied by
paleness, languor, depression, and general debility. It is occasioned
by confinement, innutritious food, and hard labor, but especially by
lack of fresh vegetable food, or confinement for a long time to a
limited range of food, which is incapable of repairing the waste of the
system. It was formerly prevalent among sailors and soldiers.
Vile; mean; low; vulgar; contemptible.
Covered or affected with scurf or scabs; scabby; scurfy;
specifically, diseased with the scurvy.
The best sleep imaginable is sleeping in your dreams

Several years ago, Andy was sentenced to prison. During his stay, he got along well with the guards and all his fellow inmates. The warden saw that deep down, Andy was a good person and made arrangements for Andy to learn a trade while doing his time. After three years, Andy was recognized as one of the best carpenters in the local area. Often he would be given a weekend pass to do odd jobs for the citizens of the community.... and he always reported back to prison before Sunday night was over.The warden was thinking of remodeling his kitchen and in fact had done much of the work himself. But he lacked the skills to build a set of kitchen cupboards and a large counter top which he had promised his wife. So he called Andy into his office and asked him to complete the job for him.But, alas, Andy refused. He told the warden, "Gosh, I'd really like to help you but counter fitting is what got me into prison in the first place".
