Had Had Lots of Fun.

A man who recently committed suicide in St. Louis left letters in which he said: “I am 62 years old. In eight years I would be 70, an old, dilapidated, tottering fossil. I have played the world out and it don’t owe me a cent. I’ve had more fun than a mule in a cornfield and I’ve got enough. Therefore I will cheat the course of nature and jump the time to come.”
