Aging
Mildred
was a
93 year old woman
who
was particularly despondent
over the recent death of her husband Earl.
She decided that she would just
kill herself and join him in death.
Thinking that it would be best to
get it over with quickly, she took out Earl's old
Army pistol and made the decision to
shoot herself in the heart since
it was so badly broken in the first place.
Not wanting to miss the vital organ and
become a vegetable and burden to someone,
she called her doctor to inquire
as to just exactly where the heart would be.
"On a woman,"
the doctor said,
"your heart would be just below your left
breast."
Later that night, Mildred
was admitted to the hospital
with | a
| gunshot
| wound
| to
| her
| knee(:
