During one of his earlier missions, Leif Erikson had been gone from home for over a year.
His wife noticed that he wasn’t listed in the town’s directory any more and became worried.
So she went to the town hell and asked the town’s clerk:
“Have you taken Lief off your census?”
(for those in Rio Linda: “Have you taken leave of your senses?”)
