Cholesterol Done Him In

I will eat liver periodically despite doc's kvetch

   When I cease to function, upon my cold granite stone you may etch:

      "Too much cholesterol clogged the veins of this unfortunate wretch!"

Gwendolen Song Date: 8/20/2011 12:57:00 AM You are hardly a wretch, Mr. Hinshaw....but the word FIT SO PERFECTLY!!!! Right? ha ha. In high school, my history teacher told us a funny epitaph....

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 8/16/2011 3:49:00 PM Bob, is liver really high in cholesterol? It has no "fat" on it, really, unlike most other meats and it's such a great source of iron and protein. Had quite a laugh reading this one, though, as your humor always comes through. Congratulations on your win in Dr. Ram's contest! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
