KING HEROIN------From DEAR ABBY

    " KING HEROIN IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL ALWAYS WANT..."

       THESE TRAGIC WORDS, PART OF A TWISTED REWORDING

OF THE BELOVED 23D PSALM WERE DISCOVERED IN N.C., IN

A CLOSED CAR ALONGSIDE A DEAD HEROIN ADDICT.  SHE

WAS 23 YEARS OLD. 

        HER DEATH WAS RULED A SUICIDE.  A HOOK-UP WITH THE

CAR'S EXHAUST HAD SENT CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES FROM

A RUNNING MOTOR INTO THE VEHICLE.  HERE'S THE COMPLETE

"PSALM."

         " KING HEROIN IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL ALWAYS WANT.

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN THE GUTTERS.

           HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE TROUBLED WATERS .

HE DESTROYETH MY SOUL.

           HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF WICKEDNESS.

           YEA, I SHALL WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF POVERTY

AND WILL FEAR NO EVIL, FOR THOU ,HEROIN, ARE WITH ME.

            THY NEEDLE AND CAPSULE COMFORT ME. THOU STRIPPEST

THE TABLE OF GROCERIES IN THE PRESENCE OF MY FAMILY.

THY ROBBEST MY HEAD OF REASON.

             "MY CUP OF SORROW RUNNETH OVER. SURELY HEROIN

ADDICTION SHALL STALK ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE AND I

WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE DAMNED FOREVER."

               ALSO FOUND IN THE CAR WITH THE DEAD WOMAN WAS

THE WRITTEN MESSAGE:

                "JAIL DIDN'T CURE ME.  NOR DID HOSPITALIZATION HELP

ME FOR LONG. THE DOCTOR TOLD MY FAMILY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN

BETTER AND INDEED KINDER, IF THE PERSON WHO GOT ME HOOKED

ON DOPE HAD TAKEN A GUN AND BLOWN MY BRAINS OUT.  AND I

WISH TO GOD HE HAD. MY GOD, HOW I WISH IT!"

THE 98-YEAR-OLD MOTHER SUPERIOR From SL Digest

THE 98-YEAR-  OLD MOTHER SUPERIOR FROM IRELAND
WAS DYING.  THE NUNS GATHERED AROUND HER BED
TRYING TO MAKE HER LAST JOURNEY COMFORTABLE.
THEY OFFERED HER SOME WARM MILK TO DRINK BUT
SHE REFUSED.  THEN ONE OF THE NUNS TOOK THE GLASS
BACK TO THE KITCHEN.  REMEMBERING A BOTTLE OF
FINE IRISH WHISKEY RECEIVED AS A GIFT THE PREVIOUS
CHRISTMAS, SHE OPENED IT AND POURED A GENEROUS
AMOUNT INTO THE WARM MILK.  BACK AT MOTHER
SUPERIOR'S BED, SHE HELD THE GLASS TO HER LIPS.
AFTER A MOMENT, MOTHER DRANK A LITTLE, THEN A
LITTLE MORE AND BEFORE THEY KNEW IT, SHE HAD
DRUNK THE WHOLE GLASS DOWN TO THE LAST DROP.
"MOTHER,"  THE NUNS ASKED WITH EARNEST, "PLEASE
GIVE US SOME OF YOUR WISDOM BEFORE YOU PASS."
SHE RAISED HERSELF UP IN BED AND WITH A PIOUS
LOOK ON HER FACE SAID,  " DON'T SELL THAT COW."

AMOR SIN IGUAL

TE SIENTO TAN CERCA DE MI  Y ESTAS TAN LEJOS
PERO MI AMOR TRASPASA LOS CAMINOS QUE NOS
SEPARAN
Y JUNTAS NUESTRAS ALMAS CADA DIA SE ENCUENTRAN
AMANDOSE EN SILENCIO CON AMOR SIN IGUAL.

ESE AMOR TAN INMENSO QUE REINA EN NUESTRAS ALMAS
NADA NI NADIE JAMAS LO PODRAN DESTROZAR
ES MAS FUERTE QUE EL MAR; ES MAS FUERTE QUE EL VIENTO
QUE AL SENTIR FURIA ARRAZA CON TODO SIN PIEDAD.

IF GOD SHOULD GO ON STRIKE ( Author Unknown)

  HOW GOOD IT IS THAT GOD ABOVE
HAS NEVER GONE ON STRIKE,
BECAUSE HE WAS NOT TREATED FAIR
IN THINGS HE DIDN'T LIKE.
   IF ONLY ONCE HE'D GIVEN UP AND SAID,
"THAT'S IT; I'M THROUGH!  I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF THOSE ON EARTH, SO THIS IS WHAT I'LL DO:
    I'LL GIVE MY ORDERS TO THE SUN--" CUT OFF
THE HEAT SUPPLY!  AND TO THE MOON---GIVE
NO MORE LIGHT, AND RUN THE OCEANS DRY."
     THEN JUST TO MAKE THINGS REALLY TOUGH
AND PUT THE PRESSURE ON : "TURN OFF THE VITAL
OXYGEN TILL EVERY BREATH IS GONE!"
      YOU KNOW, HE WOULD BE JUSTIFIED, IF
FAIRNESS WAS THE GAME, FOR NO ONE HAS
BEEN MORE ABUSED OR MET WITH MORE DISDAIN
THAN GOD:  AND YET HE CARRIES ON , SUPPLYING
YOU AND ME WITH ALL THE FAVOR OF HIS GRACE;
AND EVERYTHING FOR FREE.
       MEN SAY THEY WANT A BETTER DEAL AND SO
 ON STRIKE THEY GO ,BUT WHAT A DEAL WE'VE
GIVEN GOD TO WHOM ALL THINGS WE OWE.
        WE DON'T CARE WHOM WE HURT TO GAIN THE
THINGS WE LIKE;  BUT WHAT A MESS WE'D ALL BE
IN, IF GOD SHOULD GO ON STRIKE.

LOVE

LOVE IS ALWAYS PATIENT AND KIND;
LOVE IS NEVER JEALOUS;
LOVE IS NOT BOASTFUL OR CONCEITED.
IT IS NEVER RUDE AND NEVER SEEKS ITS
OWN ADVANTAGE;
IT DOES NOT TAKE OFFENSE OR STORE UP
GRIEVANCES.
LOVE DOES NOT REJOICE AT WRONGDOING,
BUT FINDS ITS JOY IN THE TRUTH.
IT IS ALWAYS READY TO MAKE ALLOWANCES,
TO TRUST, TO HOPE AND TO ENDURE WHAT-
EVER COMES. LOVE NEVER COMES TO AN END.

                                   -1  Corinthians 13:4-8

CASINO by C.D. with love

MY MOM ALWAYS GOES TO BIG A.C.
SO SHE CAN LOSE HER MONEY ON
THE POKER MACHINES.
BUT WHEN SHE DOES HAVE A GOOD
NIGHT
SHE'LL COME HOME AND FIND THERE'S
A BIG FIGHT
BECAUSE I HAVE THREE BROTHERS AS
YOU CAN SEE
AND WE'RE ALL GREEDY FOR HER MONEY
WE ALL TRY TO SEE HOW MUCH WE CAN GET
SO SHE CAN LEARN HER LESSON AND NOT BET.
BUT SHE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WHAT WE SAY
SHE'LL GO TO THE CASINO ANYWAY
SO WE ALL GET TOGETHER AND FACE THE FACT
THAT WE'LL KICK HER A!@ WHEN SHE GETS BACK.

OUT FOR A RIDE from SL Digest

TWO ELDERLY WOMEN WERE OUT DRIVING
IN A LARGE CAR. THEY BOTH COULD BARELY
SEE OVER THE DASHBOARD.  AS THEY WERE
CRUISING ALONG THEY CAME TO AN INTER-
SECTION. THE STOPLIGHT WAS RED BUT THEY
JUST WENT ON THROUGH. THE WOMAN IN THE
PASSENGER SEAT THOUGHT TO HERSELF " I MUST
BE LOSING IT! I COULD HAVE SWORN WE JUST WENT
THROUGH A RED LIGHT "  AFTER A FEW MORE MINUTES
THEY CAME TO ANOTHER INTERSECTION AND THE
LIGHT WAS AGAIN RED AND AGAIN THEY WENT
RIGHT THROUGH. THIS TIME THE WOMAN IN THE
PASSENGER SEAT WAS ALMOST SURE THAT THE
LIGHT HAD BEEN RED,BUT WAS REALLY CONCERNED
THAT SHE WAS LOSING IT.  SHE WAS GETTING NERVOUS
AND DECIDED TO PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO
THE ROAD AND THE NEXT INTERSECTION TO SEE WHAT
WAS GOING ON.  AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION , SURE
ENOUGH, THE LIGHT WAS DEFINITELY RED AND
THEY WENT RIGHT THROUGH.  SHE EXCLAIMED TO THE
OTHER WOMAN, " MILDRED! DID YOU KNOW WE JUST
RAN THROUGH THREE RED LIGHTS IN A ROW ?  YOU
COULD HAVE KILLED US!"  MILDRED TURNED TO
HER AND SAID,  "OH, AM I DRIVING?"

SENTENCIA A MUERTE QUE POCO A
