Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
As she lay dying, my mother motioned me to her side and said, "My firstborn! My pride and joy! I want you to promise three things!"
"What's that, Mom?" I asked through my tears.
"First, stay way from wild women. Second, stay way from strong liquor. And (cough, cough) never, ever, live in Idaho. Promise me!" and she seized my hands very hard.
I gulped down my tears and said, "I promise, Mom."
She relaxed her grip and sank with a contented sigh into the pillows, then drifted into a calm sleep.
For many years I thought that keeping one out of three wasn't too bad.
