Some people are hit with the ugly stick. Others fall out of the ugly tree, hitting every branch on the way down. Leonard was launched head-first through the ugly forest using a trajectory that would assure the most contact with the ugly trees and landed in the ugly lumber mill at which point he was covered in ugly sawdust and left to rot for 20 years before being released into the world.
Leonard also likes cats.
