A mighty Emperor was stricken with a malady; his court physicians
gave him up to die. He called in his magicians and they told him if he
would wear the shirt of a happy man he would recover. He ordered his
kingdom searched for a happy man. They found him, up in the silent
mountains, but alas, he had no shirt.
No, Satan did not bring the temptation to Eve instead of Adam,
because woman was a weaker, and man a superior being. He brought the
temptation to Eve because a woman isn't afraid of the Devil. If he had
brought it to Adam, he would have been running yet.

Some people are so stupid in passive goodness, that their whole life
wouldn't fill three feet of a moving picture reel.

=Dedication=
This book is gratefully dedicated to the kindly memory of two eminent
physicians, long since gone from this earth plane, who professionally
observed my fourth physical eclipse by rheumatic fever; and who
hopefully assured me, as I fluttered weakly from the shadow, that I
could never pass thru it again. When I received their bills I was sure
I could not.
The Author.

suspect you "loafed on the job," and tell the Union.
