Stan...
I got up this Father's Day morning at about 6:45 am. Let the dog out to

david...
that was your first bad decision of the day, stan...

.... and they should throw her in prison.....

the yard and stumbled to the living room with a cuppa coffee, black and hot
just like my ... never mind.

So, I'm watching the news from Atlanta( we're 100 miles north of
Atlanta). The usual stuff: last night's drive -by shooting, last night's
fatal traffic accident, last night's politician caught by the IRS, the
weather and then a picture of a gentle looking elderly black lady with the
closed caption ... 75 year-old lady arrested for murder... "HI this is Billy
Mayes here talking about our new cleaner...shut off the sound.

It goes like this: (true story) a 75 year-old lady in a nursing home
shot an 82 year-old man in an Atlanta nursing home because she found him
with another woman.

Now, like that dumb black ouji? ball, several questions appeared in my
head. Remember I haven't had my coffee yet.

Are there more guns in Atlanta than in Bahgdad?

izzy...
When I immigrated to Israel, some people asked:
Isn't it dangerous living over there?

So I explain that I've only been shot at twice ...
once in Jacksonville, Florida, and
once on the Long Island RR enroute back to NYC.


How did the lady get a gun?

The big question...Georgia has capital punishment. What do they do with
a 75-year old murderer?

Can you you rehabilatate someone 75?

Should you make it legal for someone 75 or older to commit murder?

Should you physically punish a 75 year old? i.e. withholding dentures
and putting on a diet of corn on the cob?

This is a all true,watch your TV for updates.

Stan(probably the big question is an 82 year old man hmnn...Paul Newman is
80)
