Pink Elephants and Purple Snakes
a journey
arrival
The cancer within.
Just another place to be.
(Whatever that means).
hello, now
You look different
than I imagined, filtered
through those gamma rays.
what's up doc?
Shall we slice, dice or
nuke today? My good doctor,
practice on me, please!
calculating cost of repairs
What is the value
of a human life? Do you
have health insurance?
another round of jose chemo
Only kidding, doc.
As far as hangovers go
this one's a doozy.
the good news
Well, at least I did
not lose my hair. (Inside joke,
never had any).
the bad news
I will not succumb
to a natural death. Nor
will I fade away.
cremate or inter?
Suit yourself, daughter.
Either way, I doubt it will
bury my huge debt.
legacy
You win. I lose. So?
Goodbye, now. I think I'll have
that last cigarette.
meeting god
She smiled at him
and said: "Hey there fella, was
it good for you too?"
