More wisdom from Sam Clemens:

"..... An old lady friend of mine had gotten ill, and no manner of cures could help her. I said 'I can cure you in a week.'

I told her she must give up swearing, drinking, and gambling. She said she couldn't give up swearing, drinking, and gambeling, that she had never done any of those things......

Well there you have it.

She was like a sinking ship, with no freight to throw overboard, why just one little vice would have saved her."
