bernard shakey you must remember that in his younger days they came to him, men, every single one of them, and said, "this was not the plan" "of course you are right" he responded, "but still...." years later there was a funeral that many believed was his, and in fact he lay in the casket for quite some time, grinning and convincing everyone that he was more dead than anyone else who had died in recent time, JFK, Jesus, and John Wayne excluded. but soon the word came round that there was orange drink (a particular favorite of his that had helped him through the hardest days) being served in back. not much later, someone glimpsed him near the exit and exclaimed (not asked) "you had us all you had us all and gave it up for that!" "of course you are right" he responded, "but still..." and drank his orange drink and left the room without another word. in heaven, |
