#Twenty More Ways to Leave Your Lover

In 1975, musician Paul Simon released the song "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover" on his album, Still Crazy After All These Years. The chorus only denotes five of the fifty ways – a measly 10%. With the addition of twenty more suggestions we will bring the potential list to 50% - proving among other things the title of the album still resonates with the Truly Useless Group.
