The End

When the sick joke is over
   The punchline is a sigh

As always Maureen: Few words. Great impact. When I do the Mortal Coil Shuffle, since I'm a man with no sense of brevity OR shame, I hope I'm witty enough to go out with more than a sigh. I want to do as Oscar Wilde did jajaja... Thanks Maureen...

As one of the tribal North American indigenous people used to say, "Today is a good day to die."...
