Heard on the tube

[Wilson Gray]

Spoken by a male, self-identified North Carolinian:

"I cleaned the whole [exterior of the] house, from front to back,
'cause _it needed washed_."

-Wilson

--
Everybody says, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange
complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
-----
Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is knows how deep
a debt of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our
race. He brought death into the world.

--Sam Clemens
